60 GB is going to be the "maximum," more or less. It'll probably be 40 something.

I am confused about high elves how do I not just make half my army the normal rear end archers they melt everything in a volley the enemy lord will come running up and just disappear at the first casualty Like there are dragons and birds and jedi... or I could focus fire with my archer line one volley at a time and delete people how do i not just dooo thisssss That in mind, seaguards make actually fighting helves a pain, including as, you know helves. Having the mainstay unit be able to shoot the poo poo out of fliers or cav if they get a bit to close in the skirmishing phase really makes it hard to not just, uh, apply archers to them.

Panfilo posted:Queek's start is harder than I thought. Just getting bogged down by Kroq Gar and Lizardmen in general are a tough nut to crack. You need to get the tier 4/5 weapon team units, otherwise you're gonna get bodied by the big bois when they start coming, too. The last defenders are the other Lizard LL, so he's pretty swole.

Fun fact for you helf players; there are, of course, two Vaul's anvil named provinces. (Three, but that one isn't not on this map.) The second one is in delf land and is a wayshard location, so it's nice to have. It also has a landmark building on it to give you -10% glocal unit upkeep. You probably should go get it.

Tyrion is an extremely chill game, but also a game that, in theory, devolves moreso into naval combat. I don't think I've actually had any naval battles in mine 90~ turn game so far, but you do a lot of sailing around. edit: also everyone in this campaign seems to have aversion to one another god drat skaven hate everyone, lizards are cold-logic and just seem to hate you, delves and helves hate each other. And in race there's the usual factions that hate the player and the rest will happily confederate, eventually. Makes helf gimmick seem really weak.

I'd really like it if they did a half-update for ME so we can get all the WH1 stuff accessible in multiplayer, at least. I get the magic changes are probably making that troublesome, as well as fixing it up for the alleged army painter. BUT STILL FOUR RACES I need something to doomwheel spam and surprisingly other skaven armies are a natural counter to them. (Because all their good poo poo trumps large units.)

The Cheshire Cat posted:So when they do the big mega-campaign, how is that supposed to work? Will they be porting the old factions into WH2 and having them use the new mechanics like climate/rites? Or are they backporting the map/races into WH1, making them work like they did in that game with specific occupation regions and so on? They've already stated Mortal Empires will use climates for everyone. Rites are a toss up, on the flipside.

I found a fun fact about the chaos armies, actually. So no one will declare war on them, that's a mechanic it's your thing to fight and vice versa when the AI is targeted. But. Your rebels will fight them. One of my provinces broke out into a dinky rebel stack and immediately moved in to suplex a chaos doom stack, somehow won, then suicided their near dead stack into my province the same turn. I'm not sure how a six unit stack actually dunked a twenty one, but it's a thought.

Ra Ra Rasputin posted:Which of the two skaven lords is the most fun and challenging start? queeks bonuses seem the most straightforward with 50% off your best mid and top tier infantry, I'm not sure the best way to leverage plague monks. Plague monks are just swole melee from traditional factions, but the differences in the lords are more what they get up to; Queek goes in ham against a bunch of islander elves (autoresolve seabattles go) and the Last Defenders, one of the Lizard LLs, from the word go. This is rough as the Skaven weapon stuff comes in at tier four and five, so you have to hold on until then. Once you beat them you then have the placeholder factions in the Southlands that will be Araby and the Tomb Kings one day, but that does mean you get to dunk Empire, Dwarves and Brettonia in the meantime. Skolk is on Lustria, by Teclis. You get to fight all three other factions, as well as some dwarves and orcs. I'd recommend playing him.

Jum-Jum posted:Are there any mods that disable the ritual or like decrease the income of ritual currency to nothing? Anything that will practically disable the ritual so I can go ham on the map. I just finished my High Elves campaign and all the cutscenes, so now I just feel like I don't wanna play the vortex campaign ever again mostly because of those random spawns that destroy all your settlements and are ignored by everyone else. Even if I don't do the rituals that still means the others will and they'll have those chaos spawns when they should be fighting each other. Wait for mortal empires.

Yeah, it's kind of buggy this time around. I actually think it might be some anti-cheese mechanic if you do too well against normal odds - I fought a battle against an army plus settlement reinforcements that was slightly skewed in their favor in autoresolve, got beat up pretty bad and got heroic.

The biggest problems with playing helves in campaign, imo, is that their armies are good against three out of four races by default or, at least, competitive and don't need retooling. Lizards, however, are tanky, shielded fuckers that never rout and I hate them.

Warhammer 1 was big on spectacle but I felt like the actual melee was a bit floaty and not as crunchy as Medieval 2 or as slicey as Shogun 2. Never before have I seen a weirder take of ME2 having more mechanics to it's combat then Hams. Still, a lot of battle stuff, yeah. Everything from 2 except for Rites for the old factions are going to be in, you should know. You need WH1 and 2 to do ME.

just ignore sassassin jfc, his posting gimmick is to be hyperbolic and contrary to everything. See; mech warrior thread, fire emblem thread, rap sheet really. Victory conditions look lame. Like, they'd all be neat across the board if it weren't for the "either be BFFs or murder everyone" clause. Interestingly, no Araby province is on there but Khermi is.

Why the flying gently caress are the mutinous gits aggressive? They are the most obnoxious thing. No other faction can interact with them by Queek Skarsnik and Dorfs, so if you play as one of them you just have this fat stack plus a waugh rushing at you out of the blue. It's extremely obnoxious. That said, Queek protip; rushing a province to level 3 gets you catapults which absolutely melt orcs. I haven't hosed with my vampire friends yet, but I imagine they'd do good work against the skeleton and zombie blocks though you'd have to keep an eye on air units. nopantsjack posted:this is gonna get painful on my end it's actually little different from two's. I mean, it's noticeable, but it feels to me it's just because the list is longer and not that it takes longer individually.

crime fighting hog posted:To be honest, how bloody were the battlefields after stuff like this? I remember the scene in Braveheart after the first battle everyone was caked in blood. Mixed bag. If you kill somebody with a big hunk of metal then there's a fair bit of blood going everywhere, but most fights in the Medieval era were against fairly decentralized opponents with smaller armies as a result, as well as fighting in general not being to the death of everyone but until one side freaks out and takes off. Still, to put it in perspective China's weapon technology, as it were, got really good about adding little bits of flair to their weapons that had the added effect of keeping the weapon from getting all bloody and slippery, as well as keeping blood from blinding the fighter.

With his ambush chance and general desire to swarm over enemies gunning for lightning strike seems a lot less useful, but blue-line skills were really good in the Vortex for the DEs I played, so I'm not sure. His first tier of blueline skills include buffing his ambush chance and by then it's only two points more till lightning strike.

I always forget how aggressively slow Dwarves/Orcs/Skaven are. Other factions you can reasonably start fighting pretty well and come limping back home to get some goodies afterwards, but they all need tier three/four as part of their basic army composition making the very early game tough going. (See; it's artillery.)

I find it kind of strange for skaven that it is actually easier to fight on regular battle maps as opposed to ambush scenarios. Like, any map that gives you a vague chokepoint is basically an autowin as you can tarpit things and vomit artillery on their whole army. Ambush on the flipside gets chaotic and messy, which can go south really quickly in a match up like skaven v lizards. why are lizards so unfun to play against in every scenario
