The trick with Luminarks is to only ever use the Templehof Luminark RoR. It has insanely long range and I never had any issues with accuracy. It absolutely deletes single entities, like I was killing an enemy's lord, hero and monsters before they even reached my lines. One of my favourite RoRs in the game.

Amber Wizards get Griffons because the Karl Franz minature kit had the option to build it out as a two headed griffon being ridden by an amber wizard. If the point hadn't been made enough already, Empire also rocks because handguns firing will always be more pleasing to watch than bows shooting.

Even demigryph knights are relatively recent. I had an Empire army book from maybe 6th edition and it was basically 100% dudes with swords and guns. I do remember that Karl Franz had the option for a dragon mount instead of Deathclaw though.

I REQUIRE SOMETHING CAPTURED!"

I would love a campaign where you have to capture monsters for Franz and those creatures get unlocked as mounts. A dragon, a giant black rabbit of Hy-Brasil, an armored halfling cauldron, etc. Same for a variety of dragons for Imrik.

Karl Franz loves monsters and animals, it’s one of his notable eccentricities. He’s the one who had the Imperial Zoo funded so he could admire and or tame the various creatures.quote:Emperor Karl Franz has few serious eccentricities, but amongst his fervent passions is the Imperial Zoo, a vast complex of beast-pens and mosaic-covered caverns. Within its halls resides strange creatures that have been given as gifts from foreign potentates or hunted and captured from the hidden corners of the world. The gigantic menagerie within has always housed stables of pegasus and Hippogryphs for the elite of the knightly orders to ride to war, but its furthermost recesses are home to even larger and fiercer creatures. Over the course of his reign Karl Franz has acquired whole families of eagle-headed Griffons whose leonine bodies are borne aloft on powerful feathered pinions, sting-tailed Wyverns from the highest peaks, and even Chimeras. In its furthers recesses can be found the Imperial Dragon, an elder beast that lies brooding upon a mountain of golden Imperial heirlooms and the soot-blackened bones of incautious stewards.

MonsterEnvy posted:The Imperial Zoo exists by the efforts of adventurers who capture monsters from the most dangerous corners of the Old World, hoping to be paid well. Forget Middenland. Forget Nuln. This is the Empire DLC we need. Could build off of the norsca monster hunt system and everything.

There's a settlement that I wanted to capture, but an ally got to besieging it before I did. I'm in reinforcing range. They'll win if I decline to join, but lose if I withdraw from the battle. When I do, my army disappears. Is this supposed to happen? I'm not in force march. Edit: Nevermind, found my army

There's a lot of lords that could reasonably have collecting monsters as a gimmick. It's the main thing they do at Hell Pit for ex. That's why it's right by Troll Country.

I wonder if the Imperial Zoo is a sneaky Princess Bride reference? Also, make it so if Rakkarth ever sacks Altdorf he gets bonkers recruitment options.

My favourite detail about the imperial zoo is that the dragon is entirely there on his own volition, and will only show up to fight the empire's enemies if sufficiently bribed.

Honestly something more like a field battle but with natural overlooks with the new dockable sections would be a lot of fun to fight over.
