AI seems pretty aggressive early on at least, even in diplomacy. On like turn 10 Manny demanded almost 2k of my lizard dollars or he’d declare war on me - I can’t remember seeing that before! Only got to turn 15 or so but I already can tell this is going to be great fun for like a decade to come. The fact that there’s years of support and DLC still ahead is nuts.

I admit I am struggling without the SFO changes to the strategic layer and unit tweaks, vanilla always feels very... basic, afterwards. The map is pretty good though, not too squashed, and it's nice to have the new battle maps and visual effects.

I'm trying to build a Nurgle themed army and I can't seem to get a damned Sorcerer of Nurgle. I mean I guess I could scrap this Nurgle Lord and instead recruit a Sorcerer Lord and MAKE him use the Lore of Nurgle, but drat every single Chaos Sorcerer I recruit seems to have a hardon for Slaanesh and Tzeentch (and/or Lore of Metal).

Managed to wrap up a greenskin campaign in about 9 hours. Zero bugs that I could see. Performance felt great, unlike release. Turn times were short and improved as the game continued and factions were eliminated. I think they nailed it.

Played a bit of Sigvald tonight, hes fun but Slaanesh's stuff takes some getting used to. Still not really sure how to handle all these weird squishy flanking units. Also I dont think my guys are supposed to chant "Blood for the Blood God" when recruiting Daemonettes nor is my Chariot of Slaanesh supposed to be yelling "Nurgle's Pestilent Glory". All in all fun but a bit uneven so far.

Skarsnik is ridic now, with lower supply lines, his new starting position, and the greenskin gold building being very cheap and giving 500 gold at T3. Turn 10: Taken Karaz-a-karak. Turn 20: Confederated Wurrzag and Azhag, taken black crag and K8P. Long campaign victory on turn 48, after rolling over Imrik, Tretch, Grimgor, etc, and finally stretching out to kill Belegar. Everyone hates greenskins, so it was basically a This Is Total War campaign, but with the exception of the Skaven I saw only tentative incursions and a passive defense. #1 in power since turn 15 or so. What's strange is that almost everyone around me was in the ~100 range with a few 30-60s. The three tomb king factions were all top 10 though, and didn't seem more developed than in a WH2 campaign, so everyone had to be weaker than that. Other weird things I noticed: I recently played a WH2 campaign and the Forest of Gloom hit T5 in around 20-30 turns. It's still T3 here after 50. Did the growth changes just cripple the AI? Durthu somehow got reduced to Karak Angazhar as his only settlement. He was completely defenseless and at war with six of his neighbors for about twenty turns before I put him out of his misery. Akendorf has been left alone as an experiment. It won't grow beyond T3 either, or build more than a half stack. It's like it completely shut down. I don't think this is really just an aggression thing, it's like some kind of bug shuts off the AI, difficulty bonuses might not be applying correctly, I don't know. But there are definitely economic problems that are driving the AI's passivity. And since tomb king armies aren't bound by economy, that might explain why they were all doing so well.

Tried out Valkia's campaign on the Realms map. Went to the Badlands rather than pushing against Kislev and into Norsca like the game nudges you to and had a jolly time beating the poo poo out of every Orc, Ogre and Skaven in that dustbowl and making them vassals. With the entire Badlands under my hoof I was pretty much free to pump out armies and grind for souls against Greasus and Katarin while Valkia rode around The Empire powerlevelling her stack. The new WoC mechanics feel pretty neat, was nice to approach end game with an army that wasn't a hyper optimized doomstack without self-imposing that limitation on myself. My main issue however was that it didn't feel like there was much threat or pushback against my campaign progress besides the occasional stack Katarin threw at my home province. I figured that opening rifts would have daemon stacks pop out or one of the other Champions of Chaos would declare war (Vilich discovered me and spent the entire campaign trying to be my bff), but nothin'. Kinda flat but I guess the devs would be wary considering the hyperbole surrounding the rifts campaign. The final battle was pretty neat. I really dig those kind of king of the hill take and hold style scenarios and facing off against each champion and then Archaon was very cool. Though strangely the God-alligned forces made such much more of a threat than the godsdamn Everchosen did despite him coming from all sides, the AI needs to be tweaked to prioritize what units it sends to capture points, his Horsemasters were fretting about outside the first ring picking at the towers I'd set up while his biggest threats (Giants, Dragon Ogres etc) wasted their time slowwwly capping and letting me chew through his Chosen without hassle. Going into a Vampire Counts campaign for IE and the main neat thing I've seen so far is that Kislev and Cathay don't seem to have a diplomatic bias against Vamps. The Frost Court and Great Orthidoxy are my buds and its gonna be a blast backing up my shambling dead with Streltzi and Ice Guard.

I'll try fxaa for graphics thanks. Should I be taking settlements as Valkia or just plundering everything? Feels like I should be fighting all the time, but I get worn down by battle losses and need to rest.

The only settlements that are worth it are the dark fortresses and on IE that is your goal. Let the bull and morathi take the south. Now if you are near a fight, there is one building that adds more income from fighting nearby which is ok to have. Otherwise for healing, your blue line does apply healing when in enemy territory, or just keep giving territory away to norscans.

Vilitch is a pretty interesting lord. He's not remotely as "solo wipe the enemy army from level 5 on" busted as Kairos, but he's extremely tanky and is designed to sort of anchor your frontline and make it a lot tougher. He incentivizes a very different kind of Tzeentch where you bump and grind people to death with a heavy metal frontline, which is fun. I'm pretty sure the tooled up generic marked chaos sorcerers are going to end up more powerful than Vilitch is, but that's life. Campaign wise he takes over Kairos's old spot of "go murder the Cathayans", though perplexingly he doesn't start at war with Miao Ying, which means you can easily sneak through one of the gates and take Nan Gau while she's faffing about punching rebels. I'm about 30 turns in and northern Cathay is doomed, though Grimgor is worryingly close to my western borders so I'm going to have to buy him off for a NAP so I can focus on destroying Zhao Ming.

I started my millionth empire game and Marienburg invaded on turn 5 before I had even finished consolidating reikland, and khazrak showed up like two turns later and razed everything to the ground by turn 10. normal/normal difficulty because I'm bad at these games no matter how much I love them. that was unexpected.

I played a bunch of azrael and I got declared on a lot but I don't think an AI ever entered my territory the whole time. Then i played ghorst and figured I was in for some fun vs cathay when he declared on me but the AI only had a tiny stack that just fled before my armies and I took everything unopposed I think they made the AI a lot less willing to trespass to get to you and more willing to run away and let you take settlements without a fight Gonna try out a legendary game Communist Thoughts fucked around with this message at 05:44 on Aug 24, 2022 |
