Mordja posted:Wait, they've figured out how to get maps into the campaign already? Sweet! They didn't just figure it out, the devs made a map tool. Mod support for this game is pretty good.

Because of AI buffs on higher difficulties, vassals can be more valuable on Legendary than taking the properties for yourself. I think you still count as controlling the whole province for commandment purposes.

Overcasting Spirit Leech used to increase its damage, but VC players were casually sniping enemy leadership every match so now it doesn't.

Being able to get the LL with Siege Attacker on turn 1 as Isabella would be even more busted. It's a legitimate balancing concern that I approve of.

Channeling enables replenishment for Vamprie Counts, since their armies are all held together with black magic anyway. I like the flavor for their "civic" buildings, too: the Empire grows a province by building up the economy, but the Vampires grow their infrastructure by making it a more awful place to live, attracting necromancers and other unsavory types, and turning more people into vampires.

It's good to remember that rebellions aren't necessarily a bad thing -- they're free gold and xp you don't have to start wars for, as long as you have an army available.

Zebrin posted:Don't dwarves turn to stone if they try to cast a spell? That might be the reason they taste like ash... Though them being grudge bearing pricks is also a likely story... Yes, Chaos Dwarf Sorcerers slowly petrify despite their bargain with Hashut. Dwarfs were made for craft, not magic.

White Coke posted:This is a world with many Satans and occasionally they gift their most dedicated servants with transformation into an immortal demigod. Most die horrible deaths after short, futile lives but that's beside the point since everyone knows they'll be one of the successful ones. Chaos worshipers are basically everything bad about libertarians rolled into one awkwardly-dressed package.

V&I don't ever really need to go south, since their victory conditions require destroying the main Bretonnia and Empire factions. Mannfred has to kill the Dwarfs, but that's thankfully not required here.

Did the Chaos invasion happen? Lots of wardecs/ treaties breaking at once can crash the game.

Miscasts are nowhere near as dangerous in game as they are on tabletop, where they could do anything from scorch your wizard to suck them into the warp permanently.

Chariots die to things they can't push around, which means monsters or cavalry that aren't wolf riders.

I ride bikes all day posted:Seems like the "best" way to handle this is to start with Isabella, then immediately recruit Vlad and pass him the army to get that crazy as gently caress XP skill ASAP. Vargheists tend to butcher units that are trying to hold a wall, even if all they're fighting is skeletons (and you get grave guard, which are solidly powerful infantry.) Just fly them around and drop them into the back. Magic, as usual with VC, is really powerful.

Gort posted:I tried an army made of Cairn Wraiths and Hex Wraiths against an endgame chaos army and they just evaporated on contact. 80% physical resistance looked really cool on paper, but in practice it didn't do much for me. The probably had some magic in there; Aspiring Champions are really great at blending through incorporeal enemies, and Lore of Fire has a cheap buff that lights weapons on fire and gives them magic damage. Chaos is pretty good at killing a ghost army.

Doopliss posted:The Chaos invasions are always a huge roadblock for me as vampires. No stationary targets to attack, a big east-west border they can hit me along, and a foe that's willing to retreat out of your terrain if you bring too much force. Eventually I just started conquering Kislev so I could intercept them at the Wastes and abusing ambush to stop them prancing all over the place. Feeding Kislev large amounts of cash/keeping a trade agreement up/joining in with them against Norscans before they get too big will also help blunt the chaos invasion. If Kislev gets picked apart by the Norscans, there's nothing stopping them from rolling right down to your provinces before you've finished eating the Empire.

Chaos chariots and horsemen are just the worst part of the game. They're dumb to fight and you always have to hunt them down after a win.

Half of those stacks are Norsca stacks, which are really kind of lame, and you can break up and eat piecemeal the others. Plenty of those stacks are only at half size, too. As always, large battles favor the Vampires, who can just pull new units straight up out of the ground after a fight with lots of losses.
