I started as Imrik and took the province near mine and the Dragon Isles. I'm now pinned in by a twenty four settlement Grimgor. The Greentide is real.

AAAAA! Real Muenster posted:Same. I feel like its the same old "get in a tough fight, sit around for 5 turns recovering while the AI recruits two more full stacks" and I'm not having much fun. Also ambushing doesnt work anymore. The new troll hero seems pretty mandatory since she increases recovery.

Onmi posted:Quick question, Can you not restore the Golden Order if it's been wiped out? Vlad went and wrecked Gelt's poo poo, but when I went to liberate his zone, there was no option to return to elector. I think if you let his city rebel his faction will come back and you can let them take the city and then confederate them.

I made sure to immediately work to try and get a defensive alliance with Tyrion. It meant I could ignore elf island and just take in some extra money and get the unique building to make dragons even cheaper.

Your Brain on Hugs posted:Playing elector count defense battles in Empire is really fun, and it made me wish there were more situations like that, where you have a small force you don't mind losing, and just use it to help a larger allied force by taking out specific threats or holding a choke point. I think in general smaller battles are more fun in this game, when everything gets to multiple stacks of t4+ units it loses some of its charm and becomes more of a slog. It would be cool if there were more mini quest battle type things where you're given a force just for that battle and have specific objectives. There are a lot of unique battles you could have that way. Small battles being more fun is why I always get lighting strike. I have no desire to ever control more than one army at a time in a battle.

I started a Wood Elves campaign as Durthu and so far it is way more fun than I thought it would be. Sieges aren’t as bad as I imagined. I got mad that some beastmen destroyed some of my settlements while I was fighting the Enchantress, but I realized I could just make a second army and run at a deficit. When you make a billion dollars for razing a settlements it’s fine to lose some money to upkeep.

I find all of the factions that can't settle, Norsca included even though I love their units, to be huge pains. All the ruins you make just get recolonized so easily that I just feel like I'm making the next person I fight stronger.

Ravenfood posted:In that case i guess I know where my first few skills for every Lord are going! Those skills still work even if you dismiss the Lord so if you get enough buffs to Lord level you can hire one, get the skill and then dismiss them.

AAAAA! Real Muenster posted:Agreed 100%, and I can't find any minds that do anything to show them down or stop them from cheesing Waaaghs super hard. I tried a dwarf game this weekend and stopped because after beating the initial Greenskin faction I was facing down a Grimgor who had confederated every surrounding Greenskin and his army had a half built Waaagh that already had four lava spiders. Who knows what his other three armies had. I had two armies of basic troops and had just finished my first tier 3 building.

Gonkish posted:Is there a mod to make the loving Chaos minor factions actually stay loving dead? It's been a while since I played in Lustria but last time, at least, I had a loving mod that would force the Puppets of Chaos to, you know, DIE WHEN I WIPED THEM OUT. The beta patch messed up things triggering correctly after manually fought battles so I imagine that the trigger to stop chaos from spawning after all the stacks have been taken out isn't firing.

Mustang posted:How should I approach attacking walled settlements as Ikit Claw? Had my first major battle attacking one and even blowing holes in the wall frequently my rattling gunners wouldn't fire for some reason. It turned into a bloodbath that I got a decisive victory out of somehow. Lost 2 warlock engineers that were in their teens too.... I usually use my artillery to take out some towers and a section of wall or two, and then use up the rest of my artillery ammunition to soften up anyone on the wall. After that I just use a combination of plague wind mortars and lining up my guns to shoot through the walls. I usually have to use a hero or a lord to bait the enemies to come into shooting range.

Kislev is probably in, but I'm not sure how they fit them onto the game 3 campaign map. I don't think the actual country would fit geographically. It seems like they'd have to do a Markus or Repanse type thing.
