I'm not even sure how good this idea is. If you take both settlements Zhufbar looks rather shaky against the vamps. In my game I had to confederate them just a few turns later because it looked unlikely that they would hold out long against the VC. Also marching a big stack north early tends to invite a raiding visit from Ironhide that can seriously damage your growth.

So does reaching the chapter goals speed up the chaos invasion? That could be a downside of Marienburg academy.

Build walls everywhere. Play sieges manually. After the initial rush you usually will face one stack at a time. Because they vastly overestimate their chances and will get murdered by your garrisons at the same rate as they ship over.

Does anyone know if Vassals lose the base funding? Because I'm finishing up a Dwarve (hard) campaign and I've been having significantly less fun than in my empire one. I don't think I want to build such a sprawling empire again if I can help it. I'll never understand people using the conquer anywhere mod. I had to confederate Zhufur because the VCs were eating them for lunch and Karak Kadrin because I wanted to unlock Ungrim. The Orcs can move through mountains so can appear anywhere sort of forcing me to keep expanding at a rapid pace. Now I'm running six to seven full stacks up and down the map trying to finally put an end to the Greenskins and VCs while Chaos makes a detour and razes the one settlement I built no walls in. And that one goblin has now so many levels that I have no real hope of ever killing it. I'm also kicking myself for skimping on public order buildings. I thought since I have walls everywhere I could just have one stack leisurely walking the length of my empire and putting down all the rebel stacks. Didn't understand how grudges work. And chaos corruption is also more of an issue.

Wallet posted:Base funding from being AI? I don't think so. I agree with you, though, I really don't want to have more than five or six provinces if I can help it, but it's impossible in the base-game to vassalize anyone via diplomacy as far as I can tell. No I meant the same you also get. I think its 2500 on hard.

peer posted:You seem to be using words like "need" and "have to be" when what you actually mean is "it would be cool if". We're not gonna get three full factions at once as DLC. I suppose that's what the expansions are for? What I'm not particularly eager for is official support for minor factions as a possible campaign, start mostly because I'd like CA to focus on making the major factions more eventfull. I would appreciate some extra units to make them distinct though. Possible with a merc DLC. What I'm more interested in would be more campaign features. As it stands we still have a paint the map game with one quest battle unlocked after the first province, then a few others that unlock items but are very weakly integrated in the campaign, a sort of quest to unlock the second LL and then a chaos invasion in two stages. What I'd like added here are a few more events on the campaign level that demand your attention. I'm thinking for example of something like the dug too deep event for the dwarves. Except instead of just getting a temporary debuff on one province you get a permanent one that only goes away once you fight a quest battle. Another one would be some call to help from some Empire faction that gives affinity bonus on completion. You could also add some time limit to some of those. That's also where I would go to give the player access to some of the minor units if they don't want to implement a merc system for them. Complete a quest, get a unit of bear cavalry. I refuse to accept the possibility that bear cavalry isn't a thing.

Maybe just add a flat +1 turn? As is you don't use it in early game because you can just walk back and don't have the money. And you definitely don't use it in late game because I don't see any opportunities you can just have a wounded halfstack sit around at your border/ in enemy territory for six turns. Unless you have won already anyway.

Tehan posted:Is there a good way to do early sieges without artillery or elites as the Empire? It always seems to boil down to throwing swordsmen at swordsmen at hoping. Short of hoping for a light wizard from the first scripted battle I don't know how better to play it. I found that just sending the swords up ladders and having crossbows standing below actually works reasonable well? (hard campaign)

You still can make everything.if you move your main shrine of Sigmar somewhere else (Middenland is best). Except cavalry and Warriorpriests in Middenland the local recruiting bonuses are so minor that they are not worth the inconvenience involved in getting them. genericnick fucked around with this message at 11:17 on Jun 18, 2016 |

Wait that might be it. I never saw unjust on my lords in my empire campaign, but everyone got it in the dwarf one. In the latter I mostly ignored public order since the tunneling orcs forced me to build walls everywhere anyway and if the rebels can't take settlements they are just xp pinatas. Negative public order snowballs.

I think most of the problem with the dwarfs is that the game offers shiny prices for expansion north (Gunbad, Ungrim) while your main enemy is to the south. In the end you have a million fronts and a terrible logistic situation with the mountains splitting your realm.

Frankly I'd prefer auto resolve to be disabled by default except for one sided massacres. Sure it's more tedious but but the strategic layer alone is a pretty sucky game and auto resolve leads to me clicking to victory when I really should just stop and do something else.

fnordcircle posted:Or at the very least making it a player-only option. I mean it'd be really cool if the AI could handle it so that the races who normally get their poo poo pushed in by WoC/Varg/Skaeling spam have more of a fighting chance, but for now a mod that just gave that option to the player would be rad. Just limit it to minor settlements in provinces where they own the capital. Can't see a lot going wrong with this.

I'm a bit concerned that you can use the RoR in multiplayer. Doesn't that risk introducing a pay to win element? Overall I'm exited for the possibility. I hope recruiting them in the campaign isn't simply locked by Lord XP like they imply in the text. I'd like the unlock condition to be owning or getting a trade deal with the owner of the province they are from mostly.

Lassitude posted:The good news is skaven stuff is almost certainly not going to randomly explode and kill your units in this game. Random death stuff is only good for tabletop. Disagree. It is one thing to not have your single wizard explode and quite something else to not have your large pack of rats take some losses by random explosion. What would even be the point of having them? I'd say there is no real problem with having ranged combat be essentially a damage race against yourself. Just give them a very high base replenishment rate.

So how do you actually play Chaos on the tactical map? I guess drawing a line of Chosen and attack moving across the map works. Doesn't feel all that satisfying though.
