I went with my heart and am Tyrion but the other smug elfs mostly hate me even though I killed the not-empire-secesh dark elves. Am I supposed to to just go kill them and take their poo poo? That doesn't seem elfy.

Davincie posted:wow the final ritual mission is disappointingly easy, fighting of all the ritual stacks before that was harder Does the fourth ritual automatically start war with the other mains? Me and Tyrion are now at war with my former bud Mazdamundi out of nowhere. Also do skaven get attack ambush like beastmen? They sallied at me and it was an ambush somehow.

Josef bugman posted:The town was Bohsenfels. It held out for pretty much the entire 8 week campaign and at one point GW just said "we are going to have the chaos forces move past it, because they just keep getting merked there". And the town holding out was written into the story, Archaon executes the dude leading the tzeentch forces and orders them to bypass it, leaving it under token siege. Storm of Chaos happened exactly like everyone expected, an indecisive battle where all the army book characters survive. The plucky nerds giving the finger to GW’s chaos-partisan writing team is impotent nerd rage mythologized a decade on. The real issue is you could sign up for either side with any army, or be neutral if you were orcs. This meant pitting two factions worth of chaos players against almost everyone else. It was a poorly designed campaign. Idfk where the idea that GW loves wanking it to Archaon and were oh-so-salty that he lost came from. We all knew he would always lose until they wanted to blow up the world. Edgar Allen Ho fucked around with this message at 12:35 on Oct 2, 2017 |

Does anyone else get freezes during ritual cut scenes? Intro works fine and if I reload the autosave the cut scene usually works fine, but if I’ve been playing for a while, the map freezes and the voice over plays with no video, forcing me to restart. https://forums.totalwar.com/discussion/202879/crash-after-completion-first-vortex-ritual I have 12 gigs of RAM so it's not this.

I have more trouble with ranged-heavy dark elves as high elves, and the late-game Chaos stacks sometimes. Even the doomiest of Skaven stacks melts to a walled city but Chaos needs a stack as well as a garrison.

Deified Data posted:For those of you who played Kroq's campaign, did you go after the whole Southlands or just stick to the coast and build tall? Tall is the way to go if you're doing a ritual victory imo. I wish there was more incentive to be the first to complete your rituals, and that the final battle was harder in general.

All the new factions are more fun in sieges. Elves can win without even leaving the walls, just line up on top after you storm them and mow everyone down.

Ravenfood posted:I did, but I also don't think I've ever brought down a tower even focus-firing it. You need to start shooting at them pretty quick, two towers firing will kill a siege tower. Problem is that the advancing tower usually won't spend a lot of time in range of two, so focus as soon as the battle begins. It's luck-of-the-draw with how the AI places its towers that determines how many you can kill, really.

The ritual stuff is pretty fun if you pretend that foiling your opponents is important, on normal. You can afford to defend at home and still have a some offense against the other ritual-doers and the chaos stacks aren't overwhelming. The real annoying thing about Chaps imo is how if that sack some minor settlement, your factional friends will jump the ruins like vultures. Also, there should be ritual resource sharing. AI Malekith and Tyrion both love sniping resource sites that Morathi and Teclis could use, and you have no choice but to attack them or go without. Chaos sacked Vaul's Anvil in my Morathi game and even though I beat them back, Malekith stole the ruins so now I'm invading Lustria to get the site there at Tlaxtlan or whatever. I've gotta take my rage out on Mazdamundi cuz Mal is my only friend.

Dartonus posted:While the sample model pictures in the army book depict Tomb Guard wielding Halberds and Shields, they don't actually have a rule that lets them use Halberds with one hand. Plenty of dudes could take halberds or occasionally great weapons and shields, like chaos warriors or even empire halberdiers. There was no « one hand halberd » rule, you just didn’t get to use the shield in melee if you had a 2 hand weapon. They still help against ranged fire so halberd/shield was a common chaos loadout. Pretty sure that applied to Temple Guard just like everyone else. Phoenix Guard don’t have shields.

I've completed the Vortex Victory as helfs and I 'd like to complete Domination victory without killing off main lizardmen factions At that point, why? There's no cutscene or anything, it's functionally the same as just hitting "quit game" when you conquer Naggarond or whatever. Just play till it's boring then stop.

Siets posted:My campaign just got completely hosed over in one turn. Right as the high elves complete their fourth ritual, the next turn they immediately break our military alliance, declare war on me, AND confederate the second largest high elf faction (Teclis) that happens to be interspersed all throughout my southern territories because we had been allies for most of the campaign. Ritual four starts permawar with the other 3 main factions. You can prolly still win a ritual victory though. One thing that's kinda good about the Vortex campaign is that it's the first TW where you will prolly lose land, and can still come back for a win.

In my Mazdamundi game I just finished, they were fielding 5-6 dragons a stack. The AI on hard or above really likes unit spam, I get why they'd field those stacks given their enormous income but I don't like it. Every Lothern stack was a shitload of dragons and archers and every Naggarond stack was a shitload of black guard, chariots, and dragons. Other than siege defence vs. Chaos and Skaven I just autoresolved those fights cuz gently caress playing them out. I'd rather face down a bunch of balanced stacks instead of this. Also makes the final battle seem even more underwhelming. I would love to fight a loving tide of skaven. Have the final wave be one good stack and then a fuckload of chaff, just swarm the player. The vortex abilities are really powerful and the elf/lizard stacks are chumps, a decent army on that map could easily face down waves of skaven.

Ugh, the Ultimate Chaos mod for 2 adds 2-3 skill points for every level up, starting at level 1. Guess I won't be playing that mod. I got Morathi to max upkeep reduction, a mount, and into the second spell tree by level 8 or 9.

Two’s load times are way shorter for me and I don’t even have an SSD. Turn times kinda chug though, albeit still better than Rome/Atilla. Definitely set the camera to only show enemy armies at fastest, and get the faster camera panning mod.

RBA-Wintrow posted:Red climate provinces need a lot of +public order effects. You can make them worth your time and effort, but you'll need to invest heavily into them. An occupying force to beat up rebels periodically is often required. It’s only yellow, not red. Take Ss’dra Tor’s province right after taking Vaul’s Anvil province. You’re gonna want to push to Mazda’s mirror pool and gold anyway.

Hunt11 posted:I did most of my first campaign without it. What the mod does is allow you to maintain enough of a presence at home to handle the rituals whilst also being able to go out and interact with the rest of the map. I have no trouble doing this with the vanilla upkeep. You can stack a crapload of -upkeep buffs from a bunch of different sources. Like in my Malekith game that just finished I had two stacks in Ulthuan, 3 in Naggaroth, and 2 in Lustria alongside a garrisoned Black Ark and was able to pop rituals while invading Lothern.

Pendent posted:I don't know, I thought it was super cool when i started a ritual at +5000 gold/turn as Teclis and by the time the turn was over my capital was under siege by an intervention army and I was at -7000 gold/turn. I also foolishly had my defensive stack a few turns away from the capital, defending the two ritual sites, meaning I went from a really comfortable gold buffer to completely bankrupt before I could break the siege. Put a stack in your capital and build a garrison, congrats, you can now autoresolve away all intervention armies by sallying out

Gitro posted:I've had ranged units decide they need to walk all the way up to the walls without firing when giving them a direct order, but about 90% of the time it works fine whether it's fire at will or targeted. Guard mode might help? Normally I just re-position when it happens and they start working again. After you beat the ritual stacks you can go back to attacking, you know? In fact you can even attack with some stacks and defend with others? There’s no reason to sit around for 8 turns unless you want to.
