I haven't really played these games since like. . . the wood elves came out? But this seems like a good time to dive back into a campaign. Advice / tips for Skaven? Or are we still working that out?

Making the jump from hard to very hard with Skrolk is. . .very hard. Hard feels too easy, but Very Hard gets overwhelming.

Do we have any good info on the integration of WH1 and WH2 and how that's going to work mechanically? Will Skolk have an Old World start or what?

Yeah, I'd really appreciate a breakdown / guide for skaven too. I've been doinking around with Pestilens on Hard but I can't figure out what I'm doing really.

nopantsjack posted:Gave Queek a try after Skrolk, Kroq and Mal. God drat he's fun, I made fragile friends with kroq gar by giving him shitloads of cash and repeatedly sacking the rats on my border he was at war with for like 10 turns (still a cheesy way to earn loads of exp too). Then about 3 turns later he betrayed me and attacked a city with walls and a full stack of slaves and a grey seer in there, it was a huge massacre but grey seer magic and free clanrats saved the day as I tarpitted my slaves outside the walls so the towers could slaughter his big units and I sent suicide bomb rats against his towers. I just wish I could take Queek against Karak Eight Peaks

Any tricks for building up food with Queek? With Skrolk it was relatively easy because there were good food cities scattered around your start, but Queek doesn't seem to have those.

Does anything go in the southern part of Africa or did they just pretend that doesn't exist It seems like the obvious regions for a third game are Cathay, Ind, and southern Africa.

Is there any way to screw up the Warp-shard armor quest for Queek? The quest chain is no longer showing up in my quest list, and i don't have the armor. Haven't done the fight yet. My lil' dude is like level 14, about turn 30.

I got a heroic victory last night with Skaven on Hard. Was with a slave slinger / slave rat melee army and a gray seer (ruin) caster Lord, on the forest map that's a hugely inclined hill, against elves. I had the high ground, spread my lines out, enmeshed the elves, and once they were in a tight group, my mage Lord just started raining down lightning and breaking apart the elvish formations, and spawned rats and/or loose slave rats kept chasing the elvish archer units so they couldn't fire, while my slingers could, with height advantage. The auto-resolve had given me a "decisive defeat" before I reloaded and did the fight by hand. I think the autoresolve doesn't properly account for being able to spread your formations out so they have maximum surface area facing the enemy.

Randarkman posted:As someone said some pages ago, auto-resolve is just a pure numbers game. It does not account for formation or anything like that. Yeah, but that particular effect might be another reason it over-values missile units (which it seemed like all the elf units were). A missile unit, the whole unit fires, but with a melee unit only the front line deals damage.

Mans posted:The basic lightning spell the Seers have is incredibly powerful compared to what comes next. It's kinda wierd because i feel like other than the attack buff spell I can just focus the Seers on their Blue and Red lines since the rest of the spells are basically obsolete. Yeah that's a good point, I'm gonna have to go back and replay most of that campaign anyway since my Queek's armor quest bugged out, so I might just skip the other magic on that lord, at least initially. He had two points in the lightning for that fight and it really was all he needed. It's nice that it's such a tightly focused spell, too, it just does a shitload of damage in one nice tight circle.

toasterwarrior posted:OK, I'm sure something in the "pursuing fleeing enemies" mechanics has changed, because good god do units feel terrible at it now. Lots more blobbing, units losing orders and going idle, and surprisingly, your units can take damage even when killing off routers? Something's not right. It used to be really easy to issue a mass "chase everyone, but kinda stay in formation and spread out" order, by using LeftAlt + Rightclick That process seems a lot more complicated now and you have to like leftalt + rightclick + drag? or something and it's very annoying, I never want my entire army to abandon formation to attack one single unit, not ever

Panfilo posted:Margin of Victory determines how much experience your Lord and Heroes receive at the end of the battle; while damage dealt determines exp/veterancy of regular units, Lords/Heroes only care about the degree you won; a Lord could theoretically get 1,000 kills on his own but if he gets a Pyrrhic victory then he'll receive less exp than a Lord that got 0 kills but won a Heroic victory. OOOHHHHH *lightbulb explodes*

Panfilo posted:I mean don't get me wrong, it might be more worth it to have that Lord get 1,000 kills anyway if it means winning the battle. But farming kills isn't going to level them up any faster than just having them present. Well, it's a lightbulb because it means I have a motivation to hand-fight battles apart from "autoresolve sucks, reload and do by hand." There's an incentive to beat autoresolve even in battles where I don't "need" to because I'd get a pyrrhic victory or w/e.

PantsBandit posted:Well reddit confirmed what I thought had just been paranoia on my end. Units will frequently just ignore orders for no reason. I noticed it in one of my story battles as Malekith. I would tell units to attack someone and they'd keep attacking their current target, or stop attacking entirely, or get halfway there and then start attacking someone else. It seems to happen quite a lot actually. Hopefully they fix that soon, it's really bad. If they're already engaged any subsequent commands are basically a gamble. Last game seemed to have the same issue. Makes me really want to ditch the warpfire throwers.

PantsBandit posted:Makes sense. Skaven excel at throwing bodies at you so that they can split up your army and get flank bonuses. Fighting on walls doesn't give them enough space to do this, so it's easy to take the wall and get archers set up to rain death down on the courtyard. What I've been doing on offensive sieges as skaven is to just spread everything out as much as possible, ladder up the wall at all points, surround and flank where I can, everything left over (and there's always units left over, because i'm outnumbering the enemy significantly) charges for the central point and caps the siege. Meanwhile whatever artillery I have sits back and pounds away. Works fine on hard / ultra (or whatever the "max unit size" setting is).

JBP posted:
Playing on Hard with Queek, I usually form a battle line with my skaven, but I stretch it out waaaaaaay thin, as thin as I can, and I put whatever my "damage dealing" units are on the edges. Slaverat Slingers or whatever artillery I have are immediately behind the line on high ground. The enemy usually charges the center of the line with nice dense formations. because I've extended my line so thin, it's usually much longer, so the edges fold in and flank the sides, then collapse inwards. Spells go in the middle. Menace Below clanrats get spawned immediately behind enemy archers or artillery. After playing around a bit with Queek's tree I've settled on taking the bottom line first with him -- get campaign movement, ambushing, then lightning strike is great, and the reduced upkeep skill above that helps with everything.
