I killed off the ogres and the Lahmians right away with Astragoth. Not sure what to do about Kholek walking around but I have to pick a direction and I think I'll head north to try and rush the short victory conditions?

Kestral posted:I got ambitious and jumped Astragoth across the mountains to strangle Azhag in the cradle on like turn 4, and crushed him. My pleasure at this accomplishment was greatly diminished by a wardec from some random fuckin' ogres who stomped in with two full stacks and proceeded to roll my part of the Darklands up like a rug. I strongly suspect the "murder Azhag and take his cool mountain regions" play is viable, but that was clearly not how to do it, at least on higher difficulties. I was experimenting with VH/VH Astragoth starts and those dickhead ogres are the number one knife in the back most of the time. Despite being a literal one settlement nobody faction, 3 out of my 4 starts had them appear with two full stacks(admittedly mostly garbage chaff, but enough to overwhelm your outpost garrisons easily) to shank me in the back before turn 10 unless I went and killed them first after uniting the starting province.

I've wound up embroiled in a war with the rats and, uh... all of the Southlands except Thorek.  I tried to be friends with Repanse, but she was already friends with Tiktaq'to by the time I'd met her and he declared war on me shortly after meeting me so that was that.

i allied with rictus and then learned that although skaven only have 20 aversion to chorfs, the zharr lads get a 60 diplo aversion back at the rats. so i had to murder my own kin so they'd stop stealing my seats because they hated my loving guts for daring to sit at the wrong lunch table

The Dawi never name the Chorf for they are a source of great shame to their people, separated for thousands of years. Don't look to the east. Pay no attention to the horizon tall smoke clouds. Disregard the miles of pipe and train lines. These are the world end mountains. There's nothing past this point. World's flat. You'll fall right off!

I need to find a good punching bag for RoC Zhatan. I killed the Chorfs to my southeast and am about to wipe out the Dwarfs to my southwest. Tretch is losing his war and fighting skaven always sucks. Zhufbar exists,and might work, if I fortify the nearby towns. I wonder if you could get a stable economy with enough convoys selling gold and armaments for labor to maintain it indefinitely.

I didn't even notice tooltip delays, but there might be something with the scaling. When I try to mouse over the landmarks in the popups half the time they will disappear before I get there.

When I started Astragoth IE I had my first defense lord raiding the Norscans to the north. Mostly overcame the per turn labor burn whenever it got close to what I needed and they were a really underdeveloped loser faction. I tried raiding Grimgrog's adjacent ogre lands after he decced and went from 50 labor a turn to 150. Raiding good.

Astragoth is insane. Not only can he wipe the floor in melee, but his spells are crazy too. Hells Hammer or whatever its called can get 300+ kills per cast if the enemy is blobbed up enough. With the right skills, you can get that to like 7 WoM per cast Dont sleep on the free unit of centaur bulls dual weapons either. I just send those guys around the flank and usually forget about them and then see that they get 400+ kills per battle with no losses. I send the centaur hero with them too and he gets insane charge. I have him at 115 charge in addition to a skill that increases that by 50% automatically. Dudes a fuckin wrecking ball. Cant wait until i can make more centaurs to send with him

Haven't gotten that far, but I am 100% keeping the Lens of Mogrim for myself. 20% extra range and a lot of missile damage armywide is no joke for Zhatan, and the drill equivalent bonus is only a 10% factionwide warmachine upkeep reduction. If there wasn't a final battle coming up where I want my army as good as it can get I might put it in the drill, but for now, nope.

I pretty much fell in love with the Chorfs turn 1 of starting as Zhatan in the RoC map, wherein my Blunderbuss unit absolutely poo poo-wrecked a unit of trolls, and before they could flee to regenerate Zhatan throw his net on them and I shot the rest to death. Zhatan has very good reasons to laugh.

Zhatan's laugh alone on faction select makes him my favorite by far. Being an immovable object Dwarf Melee Lord with a super strong net innate is great too. He starts with a free sorcerer too so no spell woes. An extra convoy early means you can control your resource intake and farm super strong magic items twice as fast very early on. Then he gets +artillery on an artillery faction. Stylish as hell too.

Netting chargers right in front of a row of blunderbusses is very very fun  Also I think Zhatan can play a little more passively with the extra caravn trading for labor.

Oh neat Chorfs get the RoR hellcannon battery that is just 4 hellcannons jammed into one unit. IIRC that was a Norscan RoR for one of the final god dedications. Yeah, I'm getting that. As for warmachines, I played around more with them. Right now, at t2, the only choice is magma cannon. They are the cheapest option, they take 2 turns to recruit instead of 3, and they are much more effective than either skullcrackers or iron daemons. Deathshrieker rockets are quite nice, and are definitely a reason to bring some laborers, because they can cause murderous friendly fire damage too. High arcing fire is always nice too, but under ideal conditions I think the magma cannon are better. I havent got to Dreadquakes yet, but if they play out the way I think they do I think dreadquakes mounted on an iron daemon is the way to go.

Jarvisi posted:It's not that bad. Once all the orcs in the area are dead you're surrounded by chorfs and dwarfs who won't do much. Oh it is. I've wiped out the two nearby orc factions pretty easily. Since then the neighboring vampire counts, ogres, another chorf, skaven, and finally Grimgor have attacked. And yeah Ungrim just razed a settlement.
