Is it a bug or did the game for some reason rename Lothern to Eataine when I wasn't looking? Having played about 150 turns with Grom, I love his cauldron mechanic but I'd like if it was a little more intuitive as to what made a new recipe. The scrap mechanic feels like somebody at CA played a lot of Lucky's Overhaul and decided to copy the Either/Or skilltree choices. I just think that the current scrap mechanic is a little underdeveloped and in some cases rather baffling. Why would I want to give savage orcs an anti large bonus when I've got Big'Uns that can actually do their job now? Why do some units get upgrades that play against their strengths while other units get upgrades where one option is blatantly better than the other? It has the makings of a really good mechanic and I cannot wait to see what modders do with Scrap, but as it stands now, you don't get as much upgrade variety as I'd like and a lot of the choices aren't that good. Gimme the option to make my Black Orcs use shields, dual wield or great axe varieties. Boar units are still kinda poo poo apart from ones used in the unique Boar Lord's army.

gently caress's sake, how do you play as Beleghar? You make NO money so I figured it'd be best to secure all of the starting province but the place is so god drat long by the time I make it south to the last settlement, the orcs have shored up and become next to impossible to defeat due to actually having money to make armies with.

Playing Imrik, I am reminded of why I absolutely loathe Skaven. At least orcs actually try to take a fight every now and then, and don't just abuse underway stance to back capture settlements in awful terrain.

Gather your ghostly pals, abandon the shithole you came from and seek glory in the thunderdomes of the east. Sack and destroy. Slay the orc. Do your loving ancestors proud.

I've taken the entire desert (don't have to heart to take down beat bud Settra though, take it easy my great skelefriend) and I'm about to leave for Ulthuan. Tyrion has been off in the west getting into trouble with the dark elves, losing Alith's home and trying to defend the last inland city so I might as well make hay while the sun shines and TAKE MY BIRTHRIGHT.

No idea about how it works now, but I remember Belegar's accruing crazy amount of grudges by just going east. My mistake was in taking the land to get that additional bit of replenishment.

My mistake was in taking the land to get that additional bit of replenishment. It's a really hard start but the ghost boys are very strong and don't run. I had a good run building a full stack then sacking orcs (and humans, gently caress them) for cash on the way to the badlands. Then I started taking territory near eight peaks to get set for my glory run. Levels are more important. You can look at it a little like the Isabella gameplan where you can very much rely on your powerful individuals to start with. If you can double team something nasty like black orcs with two of your ghosts they will always win.

What determines strength ranking? Is it a combo of number/size of settlements, number of armies, army strength and army health? In my grom campaign I just took out Alberic's capital and was planning on declaring a Waaagh on Mousillon who were strength rank 16. I actually razed Alberics capital and his settlement as well because I had enough somewhat unproductive and expensive Brett settlements to deal with and Mousillon swooped in and took them both which seemed fine to me since I was going to kill him as well. Ended turn and then on the next turn they were strength rank 103 or something which is much less appealing as a waagh target, is that cause their armies lost health from colonising or just a bug? Curious if I wait a couple turns they'll move back up the rankings and then I can do it or if I should just kill them and pick one of the elves across the sea. Also what happens if you declare a Waagh on a target and then they slip down the rankings after that? I assume the reward/bonuses are based on their strength ranking when you declare the waaagh and are locked for the duration but would be good to know.

Playing the Imrik ME campaign just drives home how horrible it is to move around that far east corner of the map where it’s all mountain and forest without an underway. Managed to strangle Sniktch in the crib but now Malus has three stacks plus his Black Ark just roaming round sacking where the single stack my three provinces funds can’t catch them Excited for the Grom campaign though, had a small taste and it’s really cool

Cease to Hope posted:Not really? Like a fully charged waaaagh stack is about a match for a standard dwarf stack, with what you can afford on 2-3 provinces. (And you can easily be at war with K-A-K before you even finish Karak Kadim.) And you're going to be at war with K-A-K by turn 40ish, regardless of where you push. you're doing something wrong. line dwarves are tanky, but don't hit particularly hard and can still be surrounded and overwhelmed, etc. also orcs are designed to run on a deficent, you get like 20 turns worth of DOSH whenever you sack something. Also constant raiding. Your economy is your enemy's.

So I'm doing ME Grom and for some reason there's a bunch of skaven corruption on the map, since when are skaven so good at spreading corruption? I did a Fay Enchantress campaign a month ago and barely noticed the corruption from Skavenblight until I was on top of it, but now looking at my map literally every region I can see east of Massif Orcal (except the WE) has a bunch of Skaven corruption despite being nowhere near ruins. This is turn 10, so no real Skaven shenanigans should have happened at this point.

The Karak Zorn dwarfs got Gotrek and Felix pretty early. They embedded Felix in an army lead by a dwarf, leaving Gotrek by himself. After retreating from the two dwarf armies with actual units in them and spreading them out, this allowed me to get unbreakable Grom before turn 20 for basically free

I made a power play to WAAGH a fully developed Altdorf from From a ME start after the Brets got boring, it was pretty horrowing with no artillery of my own but the sack was 80000 and I didn't even have a big boss or the relevant followers boosting that number.

My imrik start consisted of getting a good underway battle against Grimgor early as I intercepted him, wiping his stack out completely. While I was consolidating the province to my west, Sniktch tried taking grimhold with two stacks of slaves. I won with the garrison; both dragon princes from the unique building had over 1000 kills each and the star dragon was over 2k

Had a weird bug where elf batman sent a generic lord stack to siege Masif Orcal. Grom was in the neighborhood, so I underwayed over there to break the siege. Once Grom arrived in the province, still in underway stance, I ended my turn with the intention of attacking on the next, but during Yvresse’s turn suddenly the siege was lifted, the lord declared dead from battle, and the stack disappeared without any battle being triggered. Also, got a notification that one of my waaagh armies that was raiding in Reikland was raiding my own territory (Skarsnik’s start region) even though, well, we weren’t there.

Gamerofthegame posted:undercities, etc. How is any Skaven faction close enough to Bastonne to establish an undercity that would spread Skaven corruption on turn 10? Especially when Carcassonne doesn't have any. I was thinking the new Skaven minor faction`in Empire lands could be the culprit, but how are they spreading it to so many provinces when there's not even a ruin nearby, as a minor faction? Again I'd get it if it was turn 30, 50, 80 or whatever. But turn 10?

My Imrik(VH/N difficulty) went great. I rushed the dwarf faction, taking the starting province minor regions while recruiting on the move and occupied the last one but burnt all the buildings to just let it rebel. Next up I blitzed the greenskins between me and Snitch, before he could take them out, had a rough battle against snitch but cleaned him up before he could get to many stacks, and then south to take out Hag Graef. Lucked out and they had almos no troops, I suspect they had a rough time against the lizards and had just taken them out when I showed up. Currently no wars and have spent some turns consolidating and uppgrading my troops(And catched the star dragon) Oh and I turned down confederating Caledor, seemed like a hassle and wanted to focus everything on Thunderdome Corner for now.
