I'm keeping the orc camp near Marienburg as the Imperial Military Academy. Newly-minted lords and heroes are sent there to Sack it every turn until they reach a decent level. They end each turn in Marienburg so troop losses in autoresolve are not an issue, even with a small cheap army.

How do you get enough cash without conquering at least a few provinces though? You don't even have trade goods to make money that way.

My Silver Seal quest seems to have malfunctioned. I did the first part (deploy a witchhunter) but the second part of the quest never fired. The only quest I have on my tab is the one for the Runefang. Edit: This is a known bug. Anyone been able to do it successfully? Also, is there any way to improve my odds of getting a Captain? I want my +exp on recruits. The Lone Badger fucked around with this message at 03:02 on Jun 10, 2016 |

I'm obviously doing something wrong with it, because artillery (any kind of artillery) seems very ineffective to me. I just used three batteries of helstorms against Orcs and they got less kills than my crossbowmen. Cannons, grudgethrowers... it all seems weak compared to missile infantry.

KnoxZone posted:I have decided to counter Legendary's bullshit with a lot of bullshit of my own. After taking Marienburg really fast I had Karl spend the next 15 turns constantly sacking that one Orc town next to Marienburg, which boosted his level really high and instantly fulfilled the 'defeat 5 Orc army' quest objectives for Ghal Maraz. Turn 30 and the Emperor has his hammer and the Silver Seal. How did you get a Witch Hunter that quickly?

Well that went badly. Started an Empire campaign on Hard. As soon as I'd finished with the Secessionists Karl ran off to conquer Marienburg for the income. While he did that orcs razed my starting province.

Archonex posted:You know how some people bitch about magic being lovely at higher unit settings? High Elves are basically an outdated nation that's slowly dying and only really keeps pace due to their downright amazing capability with magic. I'm guessing that's how they'll handle them. Not nearly as good at magic as the Slaan.

I'm somewhat suspicious of the fact that my warrior priests' 'preaching' causes a massive increase in childbirths in the province. How do I have them investigated to see if they're actually a Slaaneshi cult?

The enemy had two armies moved as close as possible (almost on top of each other). I attacked one of them and used Lightning Strike, preventing the other from reinforcing. After autoresolving both enemy armies vanished, even though one of them wasn't fighting. Is this a bug?

Is Manny that much more dangerous in melee than a regular Vampire Lord? I thought LLs generally had similar stats to normal lords with just a couple of special skills and their legendary equipment.

Dragging four priests along with your army to hang out in the same region is kind of amusing. Hit the Encamp button for one turn, all that attrition damage you took vanishes. Thanks to whoever pointed out the +recuperation skills as being really valuable.

Can you run early BC with lords only? Have a bunch of solo vampire lords who reinforce each other. 4 lords should make a dent in something, right?

I haven't tried it as Empire, but Dwarves can siege well by just lining up a ton of crossbows and depopulating the battlements. Try that?

rockopete posted:You guys weren't kidding about Mannfred and the Varghulf. Kill the enemy lords, their army mashes mine due to numbers, and those two still standing and smashing away until the opposition finally disintegrates. Feels a bit cheap after coming from Empire and Dwarfs. I was having to disengage Glottis every few seconds to run away and charge again, otherwise his leadership plummeted to zero and he disintegrated. Was a bit tedious TBH.

It's only ten turns but uuuugh, it was all going so well and I'm not far enough in to justify powering on without their awesome global recruitment mechanic. That's 2/3 VC campaigns where it hasn't worked. What's the quickest way to tell whether a campaign is bugged or unbugged?

toasterwarrior posted:Agents are a different matter, though I personally only use Warrior Priests and Witchhunters so you could have your main temple somewhere else. Captains are great, As well as Exemplar for recruitment, with Patrol Ambusher maxed they can do a useful amount of damage to an enemy army before the battle.

Dorfs biggest problem on lower difficulties is their lack of a pursuit phase. As Empire most of my kills in any given battle are of fleeing people, as Dwarfs they just get away.

Ammanas posted:The entire game has a pursuit phase problem. Cavalry et al does as bad a job at pursuit as they did in Rome. I just quit when end battle appears. gently caress watching horsemen bounce between infantry fleeing for 5 minutes for 3 extra kills. As Empire I generally find that if a unit is in active melee when the enemy army breaks and continues chasing that unit then it will be brought down to disband levels by the time it makes it off the field. Cavalry can usually do one unit per unit as well, but they don't have to have already been fighting it. One thing that can help is intercepting a fleeing unit with cavalry which greatly slows them down, allowing an infantry unit to catch up. Then use the cavalry to intercept another unit.
