Is Steel Faith Overhaul still the mod to go for a general improvement mod?

I'm having a really weird issue with TWW I, I can't get it to launch. Suddenly Steam refuses to launch the game at all, no error message or anything. Can't even verify the cache integrity, clicking on the button does nothing. What gives? TWW2 launches just fine.

Nope, it's a freshly built computer that's on a completely separate network. I played it just fine last week, even.

So uh were the Asur gates set up only to stop Druuchi invasions? The eastern side of Ulthuan is really hard to defend during rituals due to the impassable mountain range, which sucks. In comparison to what came before, the final battle was a piece of cake.

Controlling all of Ulthuan is just a big headache, I think I would limit myself to the inner provinces if I were to do it again.

I honestly see Araby as more likely than Cathay or Ind. And Araby's already a stretch.

That said, I suppose they will have to make poo poo up eventually because they've already released basically every important TT faction aside from Ogres and Daemons. Hobgoblins are a good idea I hadn't thought about, we'll see possibly next year.

Can anyone confirm this is an issue with the faction unlocker? This is Clan Skryre getting NEGATIVE public order from Skaven corruption.

Does that mod improve the combat in any way?
Maybe Warhammer spoiled me, but I tried the Emporer Edition of Rome II and the combat just felt off and not really interesting/engaging to me

Depends, what were your gripes exactly? DeI battles revolve around morale and stamina so flank security and reserves are really important. Worst I could say is that elite hoplites from the front are basically impervious to projectiles. Default DeI combat is super slow, but the ultra fast mod brings it to just about standard non-modded speed without losing the key elements I mentioned.

On the campaign map, it introduces a really neat regional population and auxilia system - there is also a very intuitive supply system. I'm on mobile but you should ask the general TW thread about it.

I made the mistake of installing Mixu's Legendary Lords in a game as Von Carstein. Fighting the Empire has been hell, they have like 6 or 7 legendary lords running around and even though I've captured half of their territory (including Altford and Nuln), they pump out 3 full stacks every 8 turns or so. That wouldn't be an issue if it weren't for the level 18-20 legendary lords you can't permanently kill.

I really want to like Vampire Counts but even with an army full of high tier units (lowest tier stuff is Grave Guard) you can't autoresolve safely at all. Standard Empire garrison battle -> 50 casualties, decisive victory. Autoresolve? 400-500 casualites, close victory. I suppose Skaven have it worse.

They have a sally port and innate knowledge of terrain to escape your cordon and come back from the other side? It's not something impossible. Not everyone is Caesar.

Eh, you are right. It's just me venting after a bad fight. But reloaded the save, tried another tactic and I got a close victory :toot:

I'm currently playing as the Empire in ME. I confederated Talabecland early on (turn 20 or so), but now it's turn 75 and I haven't had a chance to confederate anyone else? I'm currently Military Allies with every single imperial province (approval rating is between 100 and 200, depending on the province). Is there a breakpoint? Or am I missing something here.

This is 10 turns after Archaon spawned by the way. The End Times hasn't got poo poo on Manfred. Funnily enough he isn't at war with any neighbours except for a couple of Dwarven clans and the Border Princes.

You just need to kill off the Chaos faction, so that means killing every horde army they have out. IIRC Chaos won't respawn its stacks anymore once Archaon and crew are on the field.

If I kill Manfred's faction playing as the Von Carnstein, will I lose access to him? I see people talking about him getting unlocked after reuniting the entirety of Sylvania but I'm pretty sure that doesn't happen?

Out of curiosity, is there any specific reason as to why factions like that in Custom Battles? It kinda clutters the menu and I don't really see the point when the only differences are the LLs, as far as I see.

I wonder how well a game with 4 villain factions would sell. I'd assume they'd add Chaos Dwarfs as DLC eventually, which certainly wouldn't help matters. I'm kinda holding out hope for Kislev.

If I had to guess, Kislev, Ogre Kingdoms, Daemons of Chaos and Chaos Dwarfs would make sense as a base roster. Different Chaos armies as DLC. Shame is you run out of factions to add as DLC unless you start making up some.

Or GW could just randomly decide to get into the videogame industry and ask CA to stop using their license a la FFG before 3 ever comes out :v:

1) Goddamnit Tyrion we're at over 600 positive relationship points or whatever with each other, JUST LET ME HAVE THE DAMNED TRADE DEAL

2) I want to verify if the following's a bug or not (only running Rites of the Old World but that's certainly not it): the Beastmen that spawn with Archaon managed to cross an entire field without getting revealed, and only got revealed once they hit my lines. I'm talking about the entire army - even the Cygors materialized out of nowhere half a meter in front of my troops. As I was playing Dwarfs and I was depending on my artillery pieces to level the field, that was quite the surprise. Is it something Beastmen at some point or was it a bug? I've had a battle or two where terrain features fail to load in and I fight on an entirely empty field, so I suppose it being a bug isn't out of the question.

Lesson learned: don't let a rogue army get an entire province. They also got me on a plain with no forests, but I doubt that would've made a difference.
