Third World Reggin posted:It tries to fill out people in suitable climates but if there are none available, instead of deleting the team it moves them somewhere almost as suitable. Non LL factions I think? I could be wrong. I did try and confirmed though, it doesn't actually unlock non name factions for DLC you don't own.

If I recall correctly, the only LL it adds is one for kislev but it has been awhile since I've touched it. Looking for that info led me to something else though. If you play as new world dwarfs, you don't have access to gunpowder units. That is how they should act in vanilla. But the faction unlocker made it so that if you establish contact with old world dwarfs, you get the missing units back.

I love Mazdamundi and that campaign. But gently caress, when you go to take out Skeggi, they have a lord with like a full stack of missile cavalry and, as far as I know, the lizardmen have major issues dealing with them. The javelin skinks are fine for a while but have no ammunition. I'm usually fighting them in their base by turn 5 or 6, so the ability to get my guys upgraded to deal with the horse speed is nil.

Yeah, fast missile units are absolutely barbaric against saurus warriors or anything that rampages, if you can't find a way to get them out into a favorable battlefield that nullifies the range advantage, I'd recommend loading up on multiple skink skirmishers, chameleon if possible but might be a bit long to tech into.

Skirmish cavalry REALLY does not like being subjected to the Net spell. You can get it pretty much right away. Between that and your Solar Engine Bastilodon, you ought to be set so long as you aren't dealing with, say, a big stack on top of the town garrison. You can solve a lot of problems if you can lure out their troops into an ambush.

As a note, this is a bug where Skeggi (and other Norscan factions) can't build Skeggi's unique building chain, so all they're left with for military buildings is the basic Cavalry building. The community patch mod should fix this.

So playing as Alarielle, about turn 30 or so a blood voyage and Hellebron have showed up on my northern shore. Both are full stacks with lots of higher tier stuff. Eep.

If you get a tomb king rebellion early you'll pretty much need your entire military might brought down on the stack immediately or it will crush you with high tier veteran monsters and infantry, best to focus hard on public order as tomb kings.

TK rebels just hit the sauce super hard and basically conjure an end-game hellstack on turn 11 if it crops up that early. Poor Settra somehow had a rebellion at the small city next to Khemri and it was like 4 Ushabti, 2 Greatbows, a Heirotitan, a Casket and a shitload of Tomb Guard/Cavalry. They can unironically lock down an area against the AI for an extremely long time.

You feel it really hard as the Tomb kings because your low tier troops are hot loving garbage. Once you hit constructs your ability to dish out damage jumps up a lot. Unlike say dwarves where you just have crappy versions of the better troops you’ll get and can make do a bit with them, the tomb kings are pretty much just missing the damage dealing part of their army until they get high tier troops. The archers and to a degree chariots are all you have at that point really.

I wanted tomb king skeletons to be actually good when buffed by their unique lore of magic but small buffs to a single unit at a time just doesn't cut it. Their recursion is also complete garbage. As a fan of undead since homm2 I found them the biggest letdown in the series. Edit: I remember TKs having units of mummies in the tabletop that hit like a truck and were nearly indestructible unless set on fire. What happened to them? Tomb guard are way too mediocre to be what I was remembering. KPC_Mammon fucked around with this message at 14:58 on Jul 28, 2018 |

I have a couple of basic Total War questions if ya don’t mind... I’m playing Total Warhammer 1 now. First TW game. - How do I actually permanently kill enemy lords? For instance, I’ve “wounded” Wuzzag a few times times and gone into battles specifically intending to make sure he doesn’t walk out of it, and then turns later he comes back with another stack and attacks my settlements. I feel like I’ve been playing whack a mole with these guys for the last 100 turns because they refuse to die. - how can I get a good gauge of an enemy army when I’m looking at the main campaign map? at this point I still am never quite sure who has the advantage before I actually go to attack them. Thanks!

You can't permanently kill legendary lords (yours included), aside from totally wiping out their faction. 2. The banner over their army will be more or less filled-in depending on their army size (though not necessarily strength, a 20-stack of chaff will look the same as a top tier stack). You can click on the army to see what specific units they've got, though not all may be visible depending on how close you have an army/agent to them.

Tomb guard are way too mediocre to be what I was remembering. Those existed in the 4rth edition, at that time there was only one undead faction, necromancers, mummies and vampires could be fielded witth the same army list. In 5th edition, the Vampire Counts were created as a separate army and Tomb Kings were released in 6th edition. Probably you're remembering things from different eras.

TK have terrible t1 chaff but that's balanced by them being completely free. Yeah your units are garbage but you're only limited by the number of armies/lords you've unlocked. Early game is slow but once you've got 2-3 armies it really picks up speed

Their recursion is also complete garbage. Choice and Consequence made Lore of Nehekara much better, while most of the overhaul's buffed magic lores also have proportionally increased winds costs, Lore of Nehekara is much more economical and the buffs are now huge AoE effects which make them extremely cost-effective to use on low tier units.

C&C also turns Plague of Rust into that. Super brutal on armored badasses like most melee lords/heroes when all their armor flakes away and a mob of insane, almost-naked religious fanatics could kill them through sheer attrition.

My mod that I want is finally made https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1456828999 quote:This mod uses Lua scripting to implement Tabletop style unit caps for individual armies in the campaign. This is not another faction wide cap mod, but instead limits the composition of each individual army in a similar way to the old tabletop rules of max 50% special, 25% rare, at least 50% core.
