Go knock over the empire if you like, or the world's edge mountains. North has no buffer states so you might end up being forced to go that way except for kraka drak which doesn't always last that long.

You get a nice gold mine and a province you don't really need to worry about defending since it's surrounded on all sides by Order factions who will like you even more for killing vampires. Taking Drakenhof is piss easy even with a 20 garrison since there's a section of the walls not covered by towers and they have no ranged so you can just stick a kossar stack right there and shoot down their entire force for free. It also gives the Empire factions one less thing to get killed by so they have some more chance of lasting a few more turns before being eating by Skrag.

And hopefully you have a hero that decreases vampiric corruption, unlike Chaos factions that have to make do with constant 70 that makes all units take attrition.

I was hoping to take more land and confederate but currently I don't have enough for them to think about that. I would not fight other Kislevites if you can avoid it. You have two cities and it sounds like two oblasts, assuming you have killed off the Baersonlings. Have you done any rifts yet? Trying to figure out how many turns you're in. If you have finished one or have time before one then a jaunt to Sylvania for their mine and to help the Empire out is a good place. Make sure Throt is dead, or he will be a huge pain. I confederated the group holding Erengrad because shortly after the first set of rifts several demon armies descended on them and they got a huge "major threat" bonus to wanting to be confederated. Having lots of supporters and a good relationship helped too. I'm honestly not sure that Kostaltyn will survive to be confederated at this rate. Anyway, Erengrad is nice to have, as is the third oblast but honestly two cities and two oblasts is a great position given the way the campaign plays out.

Twigand Berries posted:Do Cathay and Kislev not get movement shenanigans? Poor humans. Cathay do but at that point you're basically hoping you decided to bring an Astronomer with you as part of your army into the rift (I mean I did, but still), detatching the Astronomer, making your army weaker for at least a turn, on the hope you win a cointoss so you can 'maybe' catch the enemy army. It'd be hilarious if it didn't annoy me so much.

From Outposts, can you get DLC units? I can't and I'm assuming you currently can't, but I also currently don't have Warhammer 2 installed, if that's a factor at all.

We don't know the official name of the game 3 combined map but it's been nicknamed Immortal Empires by a whole lot of people including devs to make it clear that it's the game 3 combined map not the game 2 map we're talking about. It's unlikely (but not impossible - see Untitled Goose Game) that that will be the official name but until then calling it Immortal Empires makes it clear what we are talking about - very specifically the game three combined map and not the already existing game 2 one.

Ok good tips everyone thanks but I had to restart my campaign because I feel like I did too many early game mistakes even though I had 3 full stacks but my supporter was down the shithole and I didn't use the devotion mechanic properly. I think this time once I get the surroundings of Kislev, I will go Northeast, is that more Norsacan territory? Or maybe try Sylvania in the south to get some safe mines with no opposition in that direction.

Oh I don’t mean agent actions, the non human factions all either supercharge their own movement (my Skrag’s normal movement was farther than his March stance somehow?) or Nurgle can just poo poo out campaign debuffs.

Back when WH2 launched, they mentioned Mortal Empires and added a comment saying 'we know not all the races playable in ME are mortals per se, but considering what's on the distant horizon..." so Immortal Empires seems to be as good a prediction as any.

Northeast is more Norscan territory but it's also quite spread out along the coast and directly opposite the chaos wastes so you will have constant Nurgle and Khorne invasion fleets landing on those shores. I don't think there's a good reason to push past the natural mountain chokepoint near Kraka Drak.

If you want you can push out and then give them to Kraka Drak. Ally them and get good advance warning of enemies coming that way.

Lol if you attack an army in march stance with a second reinforcing enemy army also in march stance next to it and you rout the first army before reinforcements arrive both armies are annihilated which is a shame because I did it to get two battles

So, uhhh, did anyone else figure out you can click and drag reinforcement icons and just put it on whatever map edge you want?  I just had a stack with a level 5 great wall garrison fight a Norsca stack, and I just moved the garrison forces reinforcement area to behind the enemy deployment zone where they proceeded to crush the enemy army where it stood.

Ravenfood posted:Yep. It changes your reinforcement times though, which can change how useful it is. It's certainly fine when the AI doesn't want to budge anyway. I fact I bet you can time it so that you approach them right as the reinforcements spawn, causing the AI to split up in opposite directions.

Yeah sixth when ogres first became a standalone army finalized their look and made them grey. Eighth made them viable but also more “british humans but one different feature.” I like that GW and now CA kept them being brick shithouse fat powerlifters instead of just “lol fat” though. They look funny but genuinely intimidating. E: incidentally even before and after the Kingdoms as a stand-alone army, chaos could take ogres and mark them for a god. Not likely but it’s a potential roster filler with a lot of fun art potential. I think AoS tzeentch has an ogre model? E2: imagine how many directions you could go as modeler for a slaanesh ogre E3: there’s a quote from some Olympics-tier lifter that comes up on YLLS occasionally. It basically is him saying to order a large pizza, drizzle olive oil, add slabs of bacon, then shove the entire thing into your fat buff maw to bulk up. That is actually exactly a slaanesh ogre Edgar Allen Ho fucked around with this message at 00:54 on Mar 3, 2022 |

Ogroids. Which were a related species that look a bit like non chaos Minotaurs (Until they became Chaos). They pissed Gorkamorka off in some way I can't remember right now, and swore themselves to Chaos for protection from Gorkamorka and his followers. We have models for two so far, the Tzeentch Devoted Thaumaturge and the Undivided Myrmidon.
