Also Tyrion has the elf mechanic that will let him make friends with his neighbors quickly.

Unless I missed it and am just stupid it appears public Order does something now at least for High Elves. Namely having it higher increases your growth, and taxes, lowers recruitment cost, and increases recruitment capacity

Ze Pollack posted:yeah this is pretty lore appropriate tbh. as Tyrion, you are not the Phoenix King. you are a general the Phoenix King kind of likes, and a general the Phoenix King's wife REALLY likes, wink wink, in charge of the garrison-kingdom Lothern. when you try telling the king of Saphery what to do, the repugnant little nerd tells you "that's nice, you can gently caress off now." Using Intreige to make friends among them is also useful. From what I can tell. Only Caledor needs to actually be beat up.

To avoid the problem of a managing all of Ulthuan I preferred to make friends instead. I only really beat up Caledor the rest I tended to vasselize.

Eimi posted:I might've confederated too easily then. I'm not sure. Ellyrion ran wild, taking over the entire western half of the island but they were friends with me. I confederated Yvrese, then Avelorn, and then them, which left me with most of the island. The big problem was Saphery HATED my guts the entire game, and this lead to Malekith being able to get them to join war with me. Which kind of lead to the situation I'm in right now, my armies converging to collapse on Saphery and take them out, saw the ritual cities were all on inner Ulthuan, hit the button, and then right as I do everything goes to poo poo on the outside. The elves for the most part h ave not gotten into fights in my game. Plus you have intriuge which lets you manipulate factions relationships with each other.

Like the Dark Elf campaign preview showed Intervention armies work best as a distraction or as back up to one of your forces. Firing and forgetting them does not seem super useful unless you get lucky.

I would say an easy fix for the ritual would be a change to the spawned chaos armies AI. Namely that they will always focus ritual settlements and ignore the rest. As that seems to be the big problem everyone is having.

I nearly lost a Grey Seer to disloyalty. But luckily the game give me a chance to give him extra loyalty from him creating a in game event that was pretty much me giving him poo poo and sabotaging myself to keep him around.

Yukitsu posted:Tempest might just be the best spell ever made. It basically negates any unit type air units and if I have a star dragon, lets me just assassinate any air based lord in the game. As soon as people know about it being amazing they'll stop taking air against HE and I won't have to spend points on it since no one will take air against HE after. Then they will recounter it by taking Air against the HE counting on you expecting them not to take Air.

For Queek I like to use Stormvermin and Clanrats as the baseline to tine the enemies up. While Warp Lightning Cannons and Warpfire throwers blast the enemy.

Things I would do to make the Ritual stuff better. (In my opinion) Make the final battles much harder. Let AI retry even if they lose. Make it so that chaos stacks focus your ritual preforming settlements in greater number. Make the AI more interested in stopping other rituals.

Yeah I see Snikch as a special hero. Maybe he is only single use like that Engineer from the rites, but if you do get him he has like a 90% chance of assassinating his target.President Ark posted:e: fun fact, deathmaster snikch is one of the few skaven who has mastered the art of tri-wielding - carrying a weapon in each hand plus one in his tail (the 'tail-blade' mentioned in lord talents is usually strapped to the tail and most skaven aren't very coordinated with it) and also killed the reincarnation of sigmar before GW decided they wanted the ruler of the empire to be sigmar instead so the game would be more like 40k As well in the Final Battle for Eight Peaks in the End Times. The Deathmaster killed Thorgrim (Who had killed Queek, who had killed Belgar. And a Rat under Queek had killed Gobbla causing Skarsnik to lose spirit and leave.)

Panfilo posted:Balthasar Gelt gets a revamped magic tree giving access to 3 tiers of each spell. He also gets a capstone skill which lets any wizard in his army cast spells at 1 tier higher than they currently unlocked. Think you misunderstood how the new magic tree works in 2. (or I did and am being stupid as I have not played a caster LL yet.) I belive the generic lords have 3 tiers for their spells while the Legendary Ones have 2, But the the 2 points you put in fully upgrade the spell while generic lords require the 3 points to fully upgrade it. Or did I misread how it works and Legendary Lords get an extra upgrade on their spells.

President Ark posted:in the tabletop he had something ridiculous like a 50% ward save but any time the ward save kicked in, instead of the damage just going away it hit another skaven nearby I remember him getting a AoE spell that did something like 3d6 hits except when it hit Skaven in which case it did double that.

Because of the brutal slugout I am in with Krog-Gar in my Queek game I have largely forgotten to look for treasure. (Cause I need all my forces near me.) I am somthing like 80 turns in have 2 rituals down, allied with Clan Pestilens. Yet my lack of skill has prevented me from defeating Krog-Gar. I am near dead even with him and even when I do beat his big nasty stacks I gennerally have lost several of my own stacks and am too weakened to finish him off forcing one of us to offer peace to rebuild.

sassassin posted:Intervention armies shouldn't exist. All they do is encourage turtling up, since you don't need to go out and disrupt rituals, and have to be ready for first turn attacking full stacks spawning into your territory. Not really. Intervention armies tend not to be strong enough to actully disrupt rituals on their own. It's better if you have a stack yourself that can support them.

Ravenfood posted:In Mortal Empires it looks like, kind of strangely, that Malekith is going to spend a lot of time fighting/confederating Dark Elves before he can really get to any other race. High Elves are now basically straight south through Morathi's lands unless he launches a naval invasion, but iirc those territories are fairly uninhabitable for DEs. He's got Norsca to the east and is in probably the best position to raid Bretonnia and the Empire, though he also has the strongest position in terms of defensive ability since most of his major threats are either Morathi or need to come by sea once he secures his borders. Hopefully the AI Malekith starts loving with/raiding around the Old World pretty quick. Morathi looks like a fairly fun start, though not too different from the Vortex Campaign since she now has to sail around Ulthuan to get anywhere new. She does come into contact with High Elves a lot earlier though, and still can do alright for herself going around Ulthuan to the north. Malekith had no issues running over to Ulthaun and beating them up and taking their land.

For Queek I have decided to just rush for Eight Peaks. Slaughtering and buring my way through while upgrading my forces to defeat the mutinous gits. Ignoring Kroqgar smashing my old home as he makes a good distraction for other Undead and Orc who could have been bothering me. Eight Peaks is a better homebase anyway.
