+10% replenishment is usually enough to fully heal your army from the brink of death in 2 turns, which is less time spent not doing anything and eating up your gold, also helps counteract unpleasant climate because replenishment effects your garrisons and they can't usually handle back-to-back rebels without replenishment.

Say your army is 1000 men and you lose 100. 5% replenishment restores 50 per turn not 5.

Look at it this way, unless you're willing to combine what's left of your shattered army together and then recruit new units to make up whatever you lost (Which costs lots of time AND money) you're going to have to wait around for them to heal. Early game replenishment is often somewhere around 5% to 10%, so losing 5% of that means you're either not replenishing until you get into a city or you're wasting twice as many turns doing nothing. Even later on 5% can represent 1 less turn wasted, so when the poo poo hits the fan a turn less of healing can be the difference between breaking a sieging chaos stack and losing a lynchpin city.

The general rule is that almost any replenishment buffs are worth it because they all greatly increase how many mans you get back per turn.

In other words 5% of each unit recovering each turn for five turns. (How much your army recovers each turn is determined by a lot of things).

Put it another way, on a 20 unit full stack 5% replenishment is a free unit every turn.

If the special on the DLC acts as an accurate marker of it's release, we have 1 hour and 25 minutes until release/update.

I'm thinking Nakai in Mortal Empires. Feel like it's going to be a Count Noctilus start where you've got free reign to go beat up Norsca/The Empire/Brettonia/High Elves/Dark Elves.

The streams I watched mostly agreed that Wulfhart was the Ikit to Nakai’s Tehenahuain so I might save him for second. Also Karl + that New World deleter mod for a Warhammer 1: 2 campaign seems appealing.

I’m going to be at work when this becomes available. Are there any new Steam achievements? I know they didn’t add any for Queen and the Crone or Prophet and the Warlock, but with these guys almost being like new races I wondered. I think I saw a rather big list of new landmark buildings. The inn from Vermintide was posted, and I think the Moot had a new one. Anyone know what they are and what they do?

The lizardmen getting two DLCs plus an FLC lord and they're still playing second fiddle to the competing faction is kind of amusing to me. CA seems desperate to make the lizardmen fun but every lizardmen army devolves into a dinosaur pack by the late-game and their campaign mechanics are marred by ridiculously hard start positions or they are hampered by the campaign AI

Tehenahuain has probably the most interesting and fun starting position in Vortex campaign?

Yeah Tehenhauin's start is really fun and hectic and he eventually evolves into an assbeater even if his early game is shaky. Ikit stole the show in that DLC but that was mostly because Ikit was/is unbelievably, mind-bendingly, disgustingly overpowered in campaign rather than because Tehenhauin was badly made.

Tehenhauin's start feels like you are properly overwhelmed with a rat menace and it owns. It's a breath of fresh air from a lot of safe start positions, I wish we had a few more like it.

Tenhenuin also has a cool unique mechanic, good mount options and a fun and fairly rare lore of magic for a LL (I think only Durthu also has Beasts).

I havent tried Tehenhauin but Tiqtakto is a blast. Sure you'll have lots of big dinosaur armies lategame but the start and midgame is really unique and fun. Also, what race tends to not have similar doomstacks by lategame?

VC has a lot of late game doomstack variety. Crab build (big single ones or medium squads), Necro spam build, cannons/mortar and handgun build never goes out of style even late game, depth guard army with something to soak damage kinda since depth guard are great in the endless late game sieges, maybe also terrorgheist spam but I always forget they have terrorgheists, and various combinations of these. A bunch of haunter heroes in a stack are fun too. Sure, LM have lots of different dinos, but they all basically do the same job of running over stuff.

The fact that it's going to take until the next patch to fix ports is ridiculous. It takes 150 turns I believe for a tier 5 port to make a profit now. Taking into account how long it takes to get to tier 5 in the first place, it's never worth it at any point in any campaign now to build up ports.

Pretty funny that they also specifically tied Markus's campaign progress to upgrading ports, while in the same patch making it the worst waste of gold in the entire game

There's this Markus event that can give you -10% port income for a favour, and you lose like 20 gold in total. Baffling change.

How does the Elector Count stuff work? I have slots open and many characters but can't put them in. Do they need to be the specific previous Lords who owned the territory? This campaign was started pre-patch in Mortal Empires so I wonder if its something to do with that.
