Hey greenskins, remember when you crossed my lands to take the dwarf capital by surprise, and now you're trespassing BACK to reinforce your half-dead armies? I'd like to introduce you to someone I like to call Fluffy.

Reik posted:Playing zone defense is incredibly useful. You can base it off province borders to stop raiders or base it off settlements. For example, you don't need to sit in Iron Rock, just have it within your reinforcement zone (the red circle around your stack) if the enemy is one turn away from attacking it. Even if it's just an inch on the screen, now you can reach them easily and they can't reach the settlement without dealing with your main force. Does the circle also show garrison range? I'm having some trouble getting a garrison to reinforce ambush parties.

Raged posted:What do dwarfs have to build to get walls on settlements? My settlements are all lvl 2. The only thing I have found under defense the watch room and guard room which I have found out the hard way do not give me walls. You get walls when you upgrade your defences to level2, needing a level 3 settlement.

When I'm besieged and get the option to attack, with the description "fight the enemy at the city walls", why do I get a normal land battle? Are beefy walls just there to look pretty and dissuade small raiding parties?

Kaza42 posted:Raiding Stance makes you immune to attrition. Skaelings and such do suffer vampiric attrition, but they're almost never not raiding/encamped so it doesn't really hurt them No raiding stance. Currently at 82% corruption, chaos themselves take attrition, but the developer golden boys just power through without a hitch. They're a MUCH bigger threat than chaos itself at this point.

Chomp8645 posted:Also depending on the difficulty the AI can have substantial resistance to attrition. By Very Hard it's like 90% or something absurd. I'm serious, they do not take attrition in my game. The little red flashes don't show up, regardless of stance. Xae posted:Because the Norsica Region has as many settlements as the Empire and most of them generate more income. A good 2/3rds of them are already ruins in my game. They can't reinforce anywhere near the front, so they must be fielding seven or eight full stacks at any point.

Deified Data posted:So as VC what do you guys do after taking out Templehof and Schwartzwafen? I feel like I'm in a delicate diplomatic situation and I want to piss off as few people as possible. West. Ostermark is a huge slog and you can't occupy dwarven cities. Most of the human factions have few allies, and keeping the border princes intact gives you a buffer between the waagh and yourself. Just raze that one bloody spearz settlement directly to the south of fort oberstyre, and you're good to go. A trade agreement with zufbar may soon follow.

I found that the bloody spearz were fond of spamming raid groups over your lands into zhufbar, costing precious gold at an early stage. Driving them off completely was the best recourse.

Rakthar posted:You could get +2000 gold and 1 level for your guys every time you click end turn, or you could 'drive them off at an early stage.' I'm having a hard time making an argument for the second over the first. Does the free money and Lord / agent XP they provide bother you? Only so much that managing a dedicated raid group parked way out east sounds "desperately unfun and not at all the way I like to play this game", but ymmv Apparently ymv. You're one of those guys who refuses to play dark souls unless you've spent hours arguing online about "optimal equipment setup", aren't you?

Could this finally be a patch? https://steamdb.info/app/364360/history/Deified Data posted:So as VC are you meant to take it slow and insidiously infect your neighbors with corruption before taking them over? That's how I did it, but a certain poster took issue with me playing the game in a suboptimal way. Apparently you're supposed to let them rebel each turn and dedicate a stack towards pushing down the rebellion in each settlement until your gold numbers get really high, and then kill yourself. ditty bout my clitty fucked around with this message at 15:53 on Jun 20, 2016 |

It just occurred to me that I've never had the AI go through with a siege battle with worse than three to one odds. Someone should tell CA that sometimes armies fight to weaken other armies.

Kitchner posted:Honestly they should do away with it and just rank each army in terms of number of men, the money spent on each army, the total experience of the units, and what the mix of the army is and let players judge for themselves. Keep the bar hidden as the AI's personal inter Al judgement of those stats. Sounds kinda newbie unfriendly, I mean how is a starting player supposed to know the charging strength of a unit of caviaran humpriders?

Three full stacks of skaeling units will not go through with the siege and attack a level 2 garrison plus a half stack of graveguard/black knights. Auto resolve bar is 4/5ths red. Jesus the AI is just flat out cowardly. I was looking forward to see how their marauders would fare against walls. E: also peer posted:It seems like a lot of players are hoping for the good old blood DLC, though I'm not sure how well that would work without the sync-kill animations. Sync-kills for heroes should be brought back, atleast in single player. It's not like you notice how a 90 armor hero goes without taking damage for two and a half full seconds. ditty bout my clitty fucked around with this message at 14:55 on Jun 24, 2016 |

Slayers being produced in one turn and some slight buffs should make them better late game material. "Norscans now correctly suffer attrition when standing in areas of high Vampiric corruption." Yeah, this would've been nice a long VC campaign ago.

Gejnor posted:They didn't give them any actual stats buffs though so they are still trap status for most of us. The only way to make them truly viable is to install a mod that either gives them some damage mitigation or turns them super cheap volounteer type units. What they did do is that now auto-resolve won't insta murder them which is good! True. And I gotta love the deserved chaos buffs, even though I've only played against them. Having middling graveguard units reduce their chosen and trolls to chaff seemed really off.
