Confederating them is fine, though, since you'll do a much better job with their provinces than the AI will.

The main reasons I save scum in this game are misclicks and/or misunderstanding the rules, which happens often enough I generally save at the beginning of every turn (I dislike that auto-save happens on the end of a turn).

edit: wait, what, if I'm reading this right apparently the black coach can only collide with 3 targets max? It's the same value as any other chariot though the steamtank has a 4 there. Not sure what that number actually, actually means since it can't mean 3 mens I don't think. Unless it's 3 on the lowest unit size? Though every other value that means number of men traditionally is based off of ultra sizes.

-1 global Public Order for the whole game
-3 leadership and +5% agent success chance

On Grimgor. Seriously?

Can anyone tell me how the +15% income (Local Province) works for heroes? I'm doing my VC play and I've gone across the south all the way to Wissendland, and now its time to take Altdorf then scoot back across the map to destroy the empire. I'm having cash flow problems so I was hoping I could drop a Banshee with the +15% Income in Eastern Sylvania and get a nice income boost but the Banshee has no effect on the regions income.

Is there some sort of trick to get this to work?

NuckmasterJ posted:

Yep, hero deployed. I moved the Banshee right next to the capital and the income adjusted to 105% at the start of the next turn for that region. Should it not be 115% for the region?

NuckmasterJ posted:

Hmmm, to go from 4534 to 4800 does not seem worth 3 levels on a banshee that could be out murdering walls and spreading vampire love. Do'h.

DiHK posted:

Yeah, as VC I like those Red guys North of Gunbad. I never got bothered by Zuffbar though, they wardec'd me but got eaten by greenies shortly thereafter. I'm blaming this on that Dwarf cheat too. I had to go out and kill Grimgor as cheaty dwarfs so I think the boosted economy makes him reluctant to attack. My normal Dwarf campaign had the usual Grimgor stack around turn 10.

DiHK posted:

In this flavor of TW you have some kind of % chance of successful reinforcing armies. More ranks in lightning strike means better % chance.

EDIT: I only ever get the first rank.

if you really just want to talk about the game you might want to take a slightly less confrontational tone, friend

Deified Data posted:

So as VC are you meant to take it slow and insidiously infect your neighbors with corruption before taking them over? I took over Stirland before corrupting it and combating the public order problems there was a huge 10+ turn ordeal.

Deified Data posted:

Is there a particular VC hero that's best at spreading corruption?

Deified Data posted:

When the corruption building for VC refers to adjacent provinces does it mean it has to be adjacent to the borders of the city with the building or adjacent to the province housing the building? Would a corruption building in Schwartzhafen touch the borders adjacent to Templehof, for example?

Mordja posted:

Mods like this are neat but they make me want to wait until people create more custom graphics for them. Like, in the Empire expansion mod, the Knights of Morr are just black-textured Reiksguard, completely lacking their spooky scary skull helms.

Are people able to import their own models into the game or is that restricted?

Kaza42 posted:

Anyone have any tips for Uruks? You start in the middle of Mordor and I'm never sure if I should focus on Gorgoroth or rush Nurn for the ports. Is it worth it to siege down Minas Ithil in the early game? I keep getting hit by rangers whenever I try

That happened my first time doing that battle to. Can I just say, love the idea, rarely do the quest battles Not because the battles are hard to get to, unlocking them usually requires a tonne of steps. Speaking of, has anyone finished all the bonus objectives for each chapter? I usually only hit one or two.

It.. miiight be possible? it would be really hard to get right though, like very veeery hard to balance.

A much easier way would be to simply bump up the +10 Diplomacy bonus you get via tech to say... +30? Keep it in the realm of the WE techbonuses basically.

You can also add in that fun immunity towards attrition that Wood Elves get and give that to VC, instead of the weird +20% attrition resistance.

When does Grom go live for us normies who don't live near a GW store?

Southpaugh posted:

After launch wood elves got buffed into the sky because a bunch of morons on steam/Total war forums were furious that they had paid 20 quid for a glass cannon faction that they couldn't use effectively. It was a panic response on the developers behalf imo. They already get enough poo poo about DLC on steam reviews and so forth. Wood Elves are broken, which is why by turn 150 they end up covering half the map.

The make them defensive mod is solid though and befitting their lore. Though some kind of wild hunt event with wood elves sallying forth out of the forests would have been good.

Lassitude posted:

That plus AI recruitment changes should make for a more enjoyable experience overall I think. Less chasing the AI on both the campaign and battle maps hopefully.

I don't know if it's a mod I've got or if the trait system is just dumb... but how does murdering chaos and executing captives of Chaos get my Arch-Lector the "Likes Chaos" trait? That sounds like... the opposite

Archonex posted:

After the battle he had a conversation with a chaos cultist that gave him sympathy for them. This gives him doubts as to the worthiness of his cause. Pathos is a bitch.

Alternatively, the trait system is just bunk. Get that mod that fixes it and makes traits appear due to logical interactions in combat and on the strategy map instead of random chance.

You made a lot of edits!! I was just going to add in that ive been looking for the mod that does just that with the traits and i cannot seem to find it anymore

I've had this mod for a while for skill points (have fun with manfred and his 50+ skills), was looking for another one that regularly gives me 2 points per level or something and yet all of them seem to have some weird limitation like only giving you more points after a certain level or not giving it to heroes and non-legendary lords. is there some actual mechanic preventing them doing this eg an artificial cap on points, or is everyone having a mass stupid attack and feeling they need to 'balance' their 1-line mods?

Mod recommendations for the original anyone? Bought the game and loving it, I remember reading about that no offensive agents bit and figured that would be a good start.

What about the Dwarves? They have major grudges against the Skaven, and good relations with the Empire; you'd think they would be talking about them more.
