Executing captives gives you a chance (and it's high, about 20%) to get Unjust, which is -1 global public order, and Untrustworthy, which is -5% income in local province (eventually evolves into Dishonest and then Deceiver, -10% and -15% respectively).
I don't think this is right, I execute all my captives constantly and have gotten everything from trustworthy to steadfast. Declaring war on people I have peace treaties with have changed my rep to untrustworthy, but leaving poo poo alone for a few turns have bumped me up to trustworthy or better again.

E: Oh, you were talking about traits not rep. Nope, mannfred von carstein is still gandhi as far as his subjects are concerned over a hundred turns in. About forty battles or so and always murdering or dominating captives.

Might just be an empire/dwarfs thing. Don't think I've ever seen Manny with harsh/unjust either, though I have had vampire lords pick up untrustworthy out on campaign. Guess the bad guys are supposed to kill their enemies but the good guys are supposed to parole ork savages and demon-worshiping vikings because "it's the right thing to do." drat bleeding heart liberals.

This makes a lot of sense. CA really changed up the formula in this game.

Right okay, everyone keeps harping on how amazing the Blood Knights are, and they are good its just.. I think the new Hexwraiths post-patch are even better.

Just had two battles where it was 3x armies vs my 1x Kemmlers top tier army.

So the enemy has reinforcements, and in BOTH battles i managed to vanguard deploy my 2xHexwraiths so that AS SOON as those armies appear they run into my hexies.

Cue MASS loving ROUTING that immediately makes the vast majority of both reinforing armies turn tail and run away IMMEDIATELY since they are routing RIGHT where they spawn.

In the second battle the reinforcing armies are right next to their main army so they actually manage to pin my hexes, resulting in more of their units making it in as well. My Hexers are nearly killed, but i manage to pull them away, and they still managed to make atleast 4-6 units run away from the map. I throw Nehek on them and let them bathe in Kemmlers aura. They are soon BACK TO FULL HEALTH and going back to fighting, which they do very well since they just refuse to die with their 80% physical protection.

Spooky Ghost Men Horsies gud.

I think this is a bug. Reinforcements enter the field with 0 morale, which fills up during the first couple of seconds into the fight. Attacking them beforehand with a unit that causes terror would likely lead to routing.

Oh interesting, everywhere else I've seen people post performance losses with Nvidia.

What card exactly?

1070. I could force the fps way below 60 in DX 11 with large army battles even on FXAA/1440p, but with DX12 I'm finding myself having to turn on v-sync to prevent tearing.

Also for some reason my GPU temp consistently runs a few degrees higher.

I decided to get a 1080 but felt a bit wary since it seemed the DX12 mode didn't work for nvidia cards in this game, glad to know the 10xx series has it!

I just upgarded last week. My old 970 also had DX12 mode available, but the performance difference vs DX11 was hard to tell on that card, it may even have been worse. Also grats on the forthcoming monster!

Mid to late-game empire seems to be a huge snorefest. Playing on hard, I expanded east without any real opposition from the warring states. The vampire counts barely clung on to sylvania, and I beat them using only T1/T2 units. Now all i have to do is conquer the entire north.

Is there a particular way to use Riflemen? Right now I just line them up in front of the melee and let the rifles murder whoever gets close (they absolutely shred morale) and then charge the melee forward when the rifle lines aren't being as worth while. Of course I'm a bad player, always wind up getting flanked by Cav forces

You literally wrote the definitive guide on how to use riflemen, getting flanked by cav is just how things work.

I have yet to see an ally chase down an enemy army and kill it. They follow for two turns until it's technically not inside the border and then go "welp, not my problem anymore"

Also why does every faction i confederate have an economy that would bring it to the top bottom of any failed state index?

Going back to the dwarf campaign after I've played VC and empire is a huge downer. I t's unfortunate that so many play them first, because they're simply not as much fun to play as the other factions.

OTOH, VC was not fun at all after playing the Empire>Orc>Dwarf campaign. The Dwarf was the weaker of those 3 imo (though Ironbreakers really make up for the slow parts), but VC surprised me with how annoying the corruption mechanic was to deal with as themselves.

It's hardly a speedbump. Osmosis and hero abilities makes attrition negligible.

Beastmen start with two hordes jesus christ is there anything they don't do better than Chaos?

I'm bracing myself for the possible reveal that they don't need to get involved with the shitvikings little politics, at which point there will be no need to ever play chaos.

Seriously, why would anyone design the game so that chaos somehow get allied with instead of subjugate the vermin they squash?

I think Chaos might be a bit too strong right now in the grand campaign.

Unless you're playing them yourself, in which case you'll face empire knights and beastmen with your shitvikings.

The basic chaos chariot is so weak that they should just remove them from the game and put gorebeast chariots in one of the existing building chains.

I wish the AI was more willing to assault walked towns/capitals. It feels like they'll only commit if they have overwhelming numerical superiority.

This really is one of the worst problems in the game at this point. When the AI thinks that a four on one advantage are bad odds, you've got yourself some bad AI. Especially since siege defence is really fun.

There should be a movement penalty for breaking siege.
