They realised how bad the Tzeentch realm was and made it so you can get one of the glyphs from every fight instead of just the specific locations, which makes it somewhat better, but it can still be a total drag. I do Tzeentch first.

Ravenfood posted:I wonder what happens if you don't have enough armaments to keep up your forces. My hope would be that it's customizable, and the upgrades would fall off if you couldn't afford the upkeep anymore. It'd also let you tailor upgrades to specific fights or different enemies, which would be pretty badass.

Managing to make Chaos Dwarfs cool and frightening instead of a weird joke is one of the best turnarounds I've seen in the series.

Thanks for the Realms of Chaos advice. The Khorne one was actually pretty fun with a gladiator style arena where you just fight 6 or 7 stacks. Pretty funny to get a province control debuff when your lord is in the Chaos Realms and then just lose it anyway when you're kicked out.

I really think the best way to do the Portal Stuff would be to add it to the IE map as an Endgame Crisis. You could then go into the Chaos Hells to stop each individual Chaos faction from entering the Earth. I really like the vibe of the place but I don't really like the Tower Defense battles, its all a bit unwieldy and honestly feels a bit too Warcrafty/League of Legends to me. This is supposed to be hell, why can I just spawn and heal my troops so easily? I'd be happy if the Realms just had a few cool themed big rear end tough armies running around in there that you had to crush to close the gates. The Khorne realm had the right idea with some fun throwdowns. I'd love to see an army of all flying things, an army of just thousands and thousands of chaff units with high morale, etc. I guess I really like the visual design but feel it's wasted. The tiny armies you fight in the Chaos realms are all pushovers. The big fight at the end is just sit there and hide behind towers for the most part.

Mr. Grapes! posted:I really think the best way to do the Portal Stuff would be to add it to the IE map as an Endgame Crisis. Anyway, I went to start up a Nkari campaign and forgot I had Mixu's LLs on. That start was hard enough without an anti-large LL with a Lion chariot and three extra units mixed in. Christ. I get the Cultist spam concept but where are people getting all the devotees from? Just don't fall quite so behind the curve when securing the first province or two?

Ravenfood posted:I think they should have a few portals that let you move around the world quickly by traveling through the Realms. Realms of chaos or immortal empires? For the former: Send agents south as soon as possible. You want to be establishing conclaves and marking lords in as many human areas as possible - not just empire and Kislev but Norscan too. You exist to cause diplomatic problems in the Empire with your Sexy sexy demons. Hardest part of the campaign quite honestly it's securing the second province, the warriors of chaos one. They will come at you hard around the time you finish securing your home province before you can really recouperate. If you can get the second province before the first round of portals you'll have a gold mine and really start building economically before having to go realm hopping. If you can merc Skarbrand after the portal phase, you have no other major competitors near you and can start going hog wild on expansion. In immortal empires you already have a couple covens established and are already kind of a menace. Early game elves have problems with Nkari because they can't really be pinned down and they'll do as they please. Lean on your lord being an unstoppable murder engine to kill anything high value, and then hammer and anvil infantry to death with Chaos Warriors and Daemonettes. Use Nkari speed and health to bait the AI into doing stupid things. Get silver helms to charge in on nkari, fade, and send in the seekers and hellstriders to counter charge. Hammer and anvil their hammer.

Do...do the endgame crisises not declare war on everyone in TW3? Not only is Nagash-juiced Super Settra targeting me exclusively, but all my other enemies are taking the chance to send armies at me too, and all the powerful factions I have NAPs with are canceling them. It's not actually that bad yet since Skarbrand's got Lightning Strike and his stack can take any enemy 1v1, but I made the mistake of parking him in a settlement, so now the endless conga line of armies sieging the settlement are preventing him from replenishing or recruiting. It'll start to get dicey soon if I can't get at least one or two turns of replenishment in.

Anti-player bias is still pretty stupid, no matter how much CA tweak it. Enemies will cross 3 provinces to chase you down even as their own settlements are being taken by a different faction. There's a balance between 'being a challenge' and 'being braindead' that CA haven't got right yet in WH3.

I'm frothing at the mouth for chorfs, always loved them since seeing their big hat models as a kid but they were squatted by the time I played warhammer There was a really good warhammer 2 chorf mod though that was very satisfying so I have had my fill enough to wait

I've never done a dwarfs in the desert campaign before in Mortal Empires, but Thorgrim Grudgebearer and Nakai the Wanderer have become badlands bros in the east. Also End Times canon says what.

Apparently Zhatan's old model's mounts are also just a taurus or lamassu, which doesn't sound too exciting compared to the other two lords.

The only important to me is that Zhatan is thrown out in the middle of nowhere so he has to deal with weirder factions then the other two, which is looking increasingly unlikely. Maybe the IE map will have the chorfs more spread out, I don't want the darklands to be the only spot on the map that is Chorfzoned

And now that dwarf campaign has gone into disaster. While my big army was away chasing rats, Grimgor came knocking and I couldn't stop him. :/ I want to like these games so much but I'm proving so consistently bad at them. Lesson learned to not overextend, I suppose.

Can a dwarf only fall to chaos as basically a communal thing more or less? Or are there individual dwarfs in the lore that have ended up being corrupted on their own

They can very easily just pull the standard "[insert lord] was sent on an expedition" thing that they do whenever they want to toss a LL into a weird spot for their race; having all 3 chorf LLs start within arm's reach of each other would be a huge waste.

DeadFatDuckFat posted:Can a dwarf only fall to chaos as basically a communal thing more or less? Or are there individual dwarfs in the lore that have ended up being corrupted on their own Even ogres can fall to chaos so I'd say a dwarf can, it's just dramatically slower. I assume any dawi on their way down bad paths has incredibly high odds of being killed by his kin or they head for the chaos dwarves and blend right in. That and chaos has an iconic look that must be stuck to at all costs so halving the size of Giant Intimidating Armor Man is a no sell. There's also a bone of contention to pick in that Hashut may be the only one who actually answers dawi going down bad paths. I wonder if there's any lore that the big four find dawi souls distasteful or something.

I think the most obvious spot to put a Chorf LL outside of the Darklands is the Chaos Wastes imo -- they trade with the Norscans all the time so you could say he's there to set up a forward outpost. Maybe plop him down near Valkia or even in Antarctica somewhere

Or are there individual dwarfs in the lore that have ended up being corrupted on their own Dwarfs do not mutate in the same way humans do: they're incredibly resistant to doing so. Chaos dwarf mutations like the tusks and horns usually only happen after generations of high-level exposure to chaos. An individual dwarf can serve chaos, but chaos dwarfs are actually a separate subspecies now.

Are you building the garrison building in your settlements? Those and a half stack can defend against almost anything once you get some practice at minor settlement battles.
