I lost 2 battles in the same end-turn and that was all of my armies. Not pictured: manfred's 2 stacks and a barely-harmed varghulf on the stirland border. Who loves a challenge   also that orc army underway'd past altdorf and razed grumberg 2 turns later

how do I beat the norscan armies as empire on hard? is it literally a case of get cannons and autoresolve my way to their forts on the interior of that place?

Buschmaki posted:Being under siege means people cannot leave a town, dude. there were 2 enemy armies all up. both armies are fighting his field army. Schrodinger's siege army cannot be both attacking his field army as reinforcements and keeping the garrison inside town at the same time once it commits to a battle edit: this might be how the mechanics work, but that doesn't mean it's not silly pnutz fucked around with this message at 06:15 on Jul 24, 2016 |

Ra Ra Rasputin posted:I believe in previous games the reinforcing army to a siege would appear at the edge of the map and have to sprint through the back gate. in Medieval 2 sometimes there was no back gate, I remember at one point stopping the mongol tides at a fortress by throwing the reinforcing armies away softening up the mongols so that the defenders could lose less dudes, so next turn I could do the same thing all over again to the next mongol stack, and the next, and the next...

Rookersh posted:
as long as the existing kislev mod works so I can have my demi-bears also, high/dark elf campaign has to come with a War of the Beard mini-campaign quote:Bretonnia is already coming we know, and makes sense. Between the Beastmen/Wood Elves, they'll have enough issues to deal with. Ideally they'll launch alongside the Wood Elves. I'd love if they were just 100% quest focused, like having to send Knights away to become Grail Knights, having to go on magical quests to solve problems for the Lady, etc. Would make them much more fleshed out then just "humans 2." I assume some of the lords will get an unremovable upgrade a-la azhag's crown that represents having a sip of the grail and getting massive combat benefits, maybe at the end of the combat tree but having a repeatable quest battle would be great.

I'm playing as sigvald and kholek, and just as I got my act together the lord 'o change shows up and I end up benny-hilling down to sylvania and back again before killing him with the baersonlings, I'm getting the feeling it's going to be a while before I have enough float to raise a third stack, let alone get starcrusher and the auric armour to make battles easier

Kaza42 posted:I hope it does that too. Currently, the replacement time is very onerous, so losing a Legendary Lord can be a catastrophe worse than losing the battle sometimes. It's like dota, your hero falls behind in levels and now everyone stomps him. I have personal experience from when I was empire and had several experiences of losing all my armies over the same turn, end times rolled around and I still hadn't made a dent in any of the sylvanian factions

Plan Z posted:They're mostly underwhelming in Warhammer, though (to me anyway, hats off if you can make them work). I ended up making use of them a lot as chaos, but that was mostly because of their position in the tech tree under the dick-cannons that I needed to support Sigvald. Once I got hold of Like all good chariots their main use was abusing those neutronium wheels of theirs and smashing anything that wasn't halberds halfway across the map to make fights for the regular warriors easier

Vlex posted:There are a few beast path maps which are "in" the forest, as in, if you pan the camera around the landscape there are titanic trees all around you, but not that many regular-sized trees. I hope it's the beast path map, the mostly-forest maps are worse than clicking automatch, due to how much more the ai can abuse the trees than you can. when micromanagement becomes babysitting individual units into the middle of enemy units before abandoning them and hoping they start meleeing, and is less effective than selecting all your units and right-clicking the far side of the map, you know something is hosed up

madmac posted:Pistoliers can shoot on the move so they skirmish better than Outriders. They're don't actually damage anything with armor though, so they're pretty niche to the point where it's rarely worth bringing them along. I know about outriders, I used them a heap later on in my empire game. It seems the pistoliers could do with an extra 1-2 ap damage, to improve the damage they do while shooting people in the back (I played a round or 2 of skirmish after asking and my pistoliers made about their own number in kills so they're not completely useless). The niche needs to be opened up though, even spearmen are useful in later empire armies as
