I don't think i've ever seen him with such a lovely army before, now do it when he's got at least as much units as you.

I'm going to venture at a guess he was getting his butt whooped up and down the campaign map for a while. Legendary Lords field lovely armies when they haven't got much infrastructure left to make any troops with.

I did the new skink campaign because I figured it'd be the easiest way to get the achievements and it is. I beat Taurox by turn 50 or whatever, but his other victory condition is to do 5 "hard" missions or whatever and I've only had two pop up so far. So I guess I just have to click end turn a bunch of times until new quests spawn? stupid.

Global achievement stats are surprisingly low for most campaign completions, just beating any norsca campaign is a rarer achievement than people finishing things on higher difficulties. Games are too long is what I am saying.

I just play short campaign conditions. I find you can usually take a few minutes to have a think about your plan and go about it in a focused way which is fun. Sometimes I'll have an annoying thing like one settlement that belongs to a defensive ally that won't become military and I can't bring myself to break the campaign narrative by attacking them, so I just quit at the finish line lol.

I wonder how they'll innovate the campaign in WH3 or will it just be a huge map? I would like some interesting victory conditions to shoot for besides map painting.

I'm not too worried, pretty much every DLC has had better end conditions, they probably don't want to make drastic changes to the current ones because annoying people will complain about their cheevos, but I'd imagine that end conditions will not be so onerous in TWW3.

I've said it before but playing dark elves and owning everywhere west of bretonnia an north of the thunderdome, fighting off the chaos invasion and still being short 1-2 victory points is a bit silly the placeholder victory conditions should have been revised, they had the same problem with 1 where you end up 20 turns into The Age of Peace and have to conquer/resettle half the empire to check off a box this is also why norsca campaign in 1 and taurox campaign in 2 are so good, they're only dragging out largely because you want to drag them out, so when the campaign becomes a bit dull you can wrap it up in a few turns anyway

I clicked the end turn button while watching a movie and after four visions of the old gods, I got one hard mission. campaign was on the 110 turns and I still didn't have enough hard missions to complete. it's a really terrible system. I beat Taurox, I was skink commando, I've got my money's worth so I just declared the campaign over.

It's a shame to hear about the Oxyotl campaign being too long. I just finished Thorek's, and it was the perfect length, about 100 turns. Well-designed objectives all around, especially since, once your economy gets good, you can bribe factions into military alliances and get your artifacts that way. The final battle was fun, too. Thorek got over a thousand kills.

So: Infantry are hitting large units too many times when they charge them. Oxyotl’s hard mission frequency might need looking at. Beastmen’s Kadon Unleashed technology, requiring you to summon 10 units in battle, becomes unobtainable if you overshoot that amount during a battle Are there any other bugs or changes that might need looking at before game 3 comes out?

I can't complete my Taurox campaign because I didn't raise herdstones in the Witchwood and Hexoatl, those factions are dead and land under my control but still doesn't count. It's a bug they are at least aware of but CA is really lovely about fixing bugs, taking forever to get around to finally doing it then usually causing more bugs to pop up in the process. Lack of testing and severe power creep are just about the only two things that bother me about the series nowadays. I have alot of faith they can keep improving weak features like sieges and outdated factions but bugfixing is not one of their strengths.

lol, those battle screens. It's been said before (by better players than me), but Grimgor is a threat early game because he can confederate so quickly and crap out tons of black orcs. If you are dwarves, rush Blackstone Crag to prevent this. Otherwise you will be dealing with tons of stacks filled with heavily armored, AP infantry coming at you and maybe other stacks filled with cavalry. Arguably, you should do the same with Sniktch because by the time you get weapons teams, Grimgor might already be doing this to you due to anti-player bias.

Can you abandon the herdstones and create new ones in the settlements necessary? Also, agreed.
