Once you get 7 armies rolling around and 4 level 5 cities the Tomb Kings are just fun as all hell. 2 tomb scorpions in every army. They're a lot more effective in pairs so they don't get isolated or focused. If one gets stuck you just send in the other one to unstick it.

Yeah, some of my skellies are hard to see against the desert. What mod are you using to make the game a bit darker?

How are you supposed to use lightly armored killy units like Slayers, Swordmasters, and other two-handed weapon wielders? When I put my HE swordmasters on the flanks, the enemy archers focus fire them to death. When I put them in the middle of the line, they seem to die faster than even basic spears/swords and need rescuing.

It's also worth pointing out that the battle maps in Warhammer are capable of loading in several different weather conditions, which changes the lighting values quite a bit.Arglebargle III posted:
It is, however, capable of causing eye strain. That's why it's recommended to match your screen's overall brightness with the light levels in your room, which is fine for work but sucks for sperging.

Lots of dorks posting here, between the outside-goers and the cave-dwellers. As a cool guy, I close all my blinds to experience maximum immersion and marathon warhammer campaigns, collapsing in my computer chair if I must sleep. I also play all battles by sound, and angle my camera directly into the in-game sun. I wear sunglasses, of course.

I think there's a big lightning difference between high and ultra settings, or between dx11 and dx12, not sure which. I've played the same battle under different setting and the Empire mans went from looking very cartoonish due to bright colours and lack of shading to fitting into the scene better. Also the goon tourny is now live! Find your opponent on Discord and work out a time to play.

When I put my HE swordmasters on the flanks, the enemy archers focus fire them to death. When I put them in the middle of the line, they seem to die faster than even basic spears/swords and need rescuing. The AI loves to focus fire strong units without shields, yeah. My advice would be staggering your line by putting them further back than your other troops. You don't need a perfect line. They'll start shooting at your better shielded units first and you'll have more time to take them out with your own archers, monsters, fliers or cav. They will still switch over to shooting them when they get into range though (but take time re-positioning), so you need to be proactively taking the archers out asap. It may even be worth keeping them in reserve until you do. Use spells or buffs too. Other than that you should just expect them to take heavy loses and factor that into your army compositions. I tend to favor shielded troops for this exact reason. Slayers shouldn't be near the front lines though. Nephthys fucked around with this message at 01:46 on Jan 30, 2018 |

The lighting looks awful or maybe just bugged a lot of the time, and can indeed cause eye strain, but I guess im just one of those dang basement dwelling neckbeards. Thankfully there are several different mods that cater to my repulsive, cheeto stained body and my squinting pig eyes

Is Settra's AI set to never really expand and instead run around pimp-slapping all his neighbours in turn? He's at war with everyone touching his turf (except my Last Defenders and our allies the wood elves) and could have wiped out several of them a dozen turns ago but he seems content to sack two of them every turn and move on. At this rate I'm going to grab the Black Pyramid before he bothers to.

They reduced the amount of melee defence you get and increased the cost slightly. It's still worthwhile on very cheap troops like Skinks and Empire Spearmen.

At this rate I'm going to grab the Black Pyramid before he bothers to. In my Arkhan Vortex campaign he seemed absolutely and 100% fixated on the Black Pyramid. He would never take it, just spend turn after turn murdering the garrison and any lords it spawned over and over again. He had other lords with him and they were mostly mauling the Black Pyramid too. It was pretty funny and weird and so by the time I got to fight him he was extremely powerful, high levelled, but didn't have much territory. Judging by how things look since I finally got a good start on my Khalida Mortal Empires campaign, he's doing exactly the same thing again in spite of the fact his leader traits make him basically wanna colonise everything and expand his empire.

How do you feel about the Tomb King building tiers and unit caps? Basic infantry building seems a good deal. At tier 3 you are getting 4 archers, 2 warriors, a Tomb guard and a Halberd Tomb guard. So on a standard 3 settlement province that's 12 archers, 6 warriors and 6 guard. Chariot building is weird, you can get it at tier 1 so can get chariots very early, but you need to get to tier 3 to get the catapult. I don't think the catapults are good enough to justify this investment. They could have made them available at tier 2 and just not had a 3rd tier to make it cheaper. Cavalry is the only building chain that has 5 tiers. You spend a lot of money to get to tier 5 but the upshot is you're getting plenty of different cavalry units along the way. Cavalry also kind of has overlap with chariots; they share missile upgrades and function kind of similarly. Ushtabi building can be built in minor settlements but the bow version is so nice I like to just build it in the capital in order to be able to get it to tier 4. Scorpion building is standalone which feels kind of weird. It might make more sense for it to just be tied to the tier 5 cavalry building. On one hand, you need tier 5 settlement to unlock them but on the other hand the building that gives them gives you tons of other units too. Big monsters each have their own tier 5 building which encourages you to have plenty of capitals to get them but at that point you're probably doing so well it's not a big deal.
