Bloodpine Woods will NOT trigger if you click to shut up the advisor BEFORE accepting the conclusion of taking the first rebel town. You MUST accept the end of the previous quest before you shut the advisor up.

Which Empire hero can stop enemy chaos armies running circles around me? I don't see an option to stop them moving. What empire units can do anything against Chaos Missile cav? They either ran away or shoot me to pieces. Is it worth trying to take Sylvania or should I just raze it?

I think I saw somewhere you can automate troops to have the AI fight using them - something I can see being needed when I get to 40vs40 Chaos battles. Can you do that, and if so, how?

After dozens of attempts I'm finally in the end game as The Empire. Chaos is down to one stack. The Everbore disappeared after someone accused him of unspecified crimes (much like his character. one turn he was there, the next he was gone and I didn't notice what happened). Notable moments were just before the initial Chaos invasion, the Vikings were playing havoc and seemed unstoppable. Franz was stuck chasing night goblins up and down a valley like a looney tunes cartoon. The 1/4 built army left over from 2 confederations was holding the Kislev border vs 2 full stacks and seemed doomed. When out of the mountains, two 1/3rd sized Dwarf armies ambled up. Here I was thinking it's all over, and they walk up, wipe out the Vikings without any loss, and walk back into the Mountains again, never to be seen again. No doubt saying "Useless manlings" all the way up and down again. Meanwhile on the western front, a single Empire general is holding on to a city under siege north of Marrenburg. 1.5 Viking stacks outside and not enough inside to do anything about it. From the west comes a Crusade of Brettonians who life the siege, destroy the invaders and chase them all the way back across the sea. Duty done, they head home and play no further part in the Great War against Chaos. Forutunaly by then,the Empire had Steam Tanks. I'd never got high enough buildings to get them, and I used 2 of them like some small sized artillery to hold one wing. I'd put my neck out to far and the bar was 80% red to win. All seemed doomed...until I saw how powerful Steam Tanks are. The 2 of them took on near an entire Chaos Army single-handed. Franz's current army has 10 of them, and the rest of the army is just there to cover the other 5 cannons anyway. The game naturally built up a story and climax, with ups and downs, disasters and triumphs, in a ongoing flow that amped up beautifully. . This is normal/normal, and I don't yet know how you can win on anything harder. I always kept failing early on, and something I've learnt I never saw mentioned when the game came out which seem essential now, which I;'m guessing everyone "just knows" now? 1- Build growth first, not money. I used to build money and growth buildings at the same time. I've found to ignore the money buildings till after all towns are at max level. 2- Build walls as soon as you can, do not wait. 3- I really like how they changed gifting money to 10/20/30 - I never knew how much money to give before. 4- Regiments of Renown can bankrupt you before you can afford to run them. Brettonia will always siege Marrienburg. You'll get one turn to attack between 2 sieges, or you you'll have to fight Brettonia for it. A Beastman army will always come through the pass from Lynonesse a few turns in. The Ork army that used to appear sometimes in Altdorf is gone and never shows up. The Dwarves usually beat the Greenskins out of the Mountains, making for a very long walk across the Badlands if you want to get Sigmar's hammer. It used to be make the Runefang obsolete the turn I got it, but now it's a bit of a quest to find a Greenskins city to sake for 5 turns. I didn't get it this game. Post Patch the Wood Elves don't expand much. Questions on Empire units: - I can't get the hang of using Outriders, either version. Pistollers can't hurt heavy armour, but they can kite nearly everyone one else and lasted a lot longer in my armies. How and against what units do you use Outriders for? By the time they show up, the enemy has Cavalry on the flanks and they can't get close enough to the infantry in the centre. - I can't get the hang of Demigryph knights, either version. I can use Reiksguard , but the Demigryph's are too small and die too fast. How and against what units do you use Demigryph's for? - By the time Greatswords show up, half the enemy infantry is large creatures, they don't seem worth the time to take to build them. - I lover the idea of Free Companies, but they cost too much  - Is there any difference between Reiksguard and Knights of the Blazing Sun? - Are Mortar's pretty much made completely obsolescent by Helstorm Rockets?

Didn't The Old Ones also create the Amazons, and left Plasma Pistols and lasguns behind for them to use? One Ones creates dinosaurs. Chaos destroys One Ones. Dinosaurs eat man. Woman inherits the earth.

I feel like what the first human explorers of Lustria must have felt when they found some of the rules of the universe the Slann had known for centuries.

For Karl Franz, I have read he loses his own attacks and defence skills if he is on the Griffin. Is this correct? Is he better with his skills on a Pegasus, or without them but being on the Griffin? How do you tell how far you can go and still encamp? Knowing it's 50% dosn't help when I can tell where that is.

Can someone match up the trailer to the music from Predator? I can almost get it, but there's a few seconds off difference.

Why did grandaddy take up the Sword of Khaine, and what happened to him? End times question (spoiler because no one wants to talk about the end times): What happened to Malekith, Tyrion and Teclis in the end times?

So everyone else gets epic send-offs and poor Thanquol dies off-screen, unlamented, unknown and without getting a final word in after being killed by a final incompetent writer and editor. Everything came perfectly Thanquol, after his luck finally ran out.

Do the Lizardmen play kinda kinda like Rome does? Heavy infantry, light skirmishers on the flanks, heavy artillery?

I would spend good money to get Skaven Scribe DLC. I really want to hear what he would say about Archon the Everbland. And every other character.
