I don't really understand the reverse chronological order thing. So are they are saying the squabble for Ursun is first, followed by big rats big plan, then the largely plotless original campaign?

Alright, Katerina. So I've seized the Eastern Oblert, Praag and that icy pass area the brown Norscalings and the brotherhood of the bear were squatting in. The first round of portals went up a bit sooner then I hoped and I lost my gambit for the Khorne soul to, I guess fittingly, Skarbrands team. I don't think I have time to try for another portal, what should I focus on? Kicking the hell pit over? Moving into the northeast? I have a 30 support lead on Kostaltyn but he's catching up faster then I thought he might. The pull between scrambling for campaign objectives while the rift is up, defending territory, and building up for the next roar is compelling but slightly overwhelming.

deep dish peat moss posted:That's totally fair - I'm okay with human factions being largely actual real-world human military stuff. I'd just like to see them with some units in other roles. For example, Clan Eshin got their crazy ninja assassination powers from Cathay - so how come there aren't Stalk/Vanguard ninja units that can sneak around and throw bombs or anything like that? They don't need fantastical units, they just need some variety in the roles of their human units. Where are the archers with flaming arrows, how come the gunpowder units are clones of old factions' gunpowder units, etc. Tie a dude to a kite and have him drop bombs or something. I thought all the rats got all the ninja poo poo from Notjapan.

Kislev not having a hero that fucks with move rates sucks, Chasing Ku'Gath's big fat rear end all over eastern Kislev while I try to put out so many fires from confederating the Erangrad faction. Side note, Katerina has Plague: Ague and there seems to be nothing I can do about it but wait it out?

It's past turn 100 on my Kislev campaign, Ko-ko-Kostaltyn has joined up frankly earlier then I expected since I stopped paying attention to the support race in the last 10 turns and somehow sucked in about 150 of them without realizing and now I have to find the money and time to support his trash fire war with Chaos undivided, Khorne dudes and some rogue army north of troll country. I was relying on the Dwarves to prop up my northern and eastern borders but Kraka Drak decided to put all it's eggs in one basket and charged off to the north over the sea for whatever the loving reason and now all that poo poo is Nurgle and Urngrim kinda did the same thing but with the darklands and ignoring a Slaanesh portal. My effort to get the Slaanesh prince soul was hosed by a late entry into the realm because Katerina was down with Ague plague for another 5 turns when the bear roared, and now I made it almost to horny palace but only had one turn left so I wasn't gonna make it. So I took the vainglory temptation gate that gives all your lords and heroes +15 levels so I guess it's time use all these new heroes I have to clean some drat house.

My Grombrindal campaign is going pretty great, it was a real stout pain in the rear end at first during the only one army phase where you gotta keep slapping dark elves while keeping chaos kidz from raiding in from the north from their lovely wasteland. His economy is in a pretty rough state considering the lack of immediate resources and nobody in hams North America really wants to trade him. Alith Anar is frienemies for now but eventually I gotta get to the other half of the elf grudge sooner or later. I mostly have Canada secured at this point though. Also I don't know how long he's had it but that 35% speed bonus for Grombrindal's own army feel real drat nice in a pinch, the dwarf himself has 61 speed, which with foe-seeker on is just fast enough to run down Malakith in his chariot. Could use some more dwarf landmarks to grab up here though.

Arghy posted:Thorek can also get the rune of spite built in so he can be a mortis engine, he's by far the best dawi lord but thorgrim is better at empire building. I prefer Grombrindal. His blue line and ancestor buffs are still really good, and there is a visceral satisfaction to his unique capstone ability bringing Dawi infantry up to 40 speed and over, and letting him personally outrun Malekith on a chariot.

So okay, I've conquered Albion on the way to dealing with the vampire crisis and it just has a giant portal I can't enter travel through or close that leads to Be'lakor so he can just keep being an rear end and I can't do anything about it? For real?

If I remember right when Mannfred rode in at the head of an undead horde to reclaim Sylvania for the Von Carnsteins, he was utterly befuddled by the lower classes throwing him parades and festivals in his honor for driving out those shitlords from Stirland.

Bloodly posted:Good grief, what was Stirland DOING to the place? In addition to what Kanos said, on the night when Vlad started his attempt to seize the Empire he invited all living sylvanian nobility to a massive ball and wiped them out. So when Vampire War 1 ended and the Empire reasserted control over the province they had to create a new aristocracy, it was given over to Stirland as they used to rule Sylvania before it declared independence from them. Stirland had been bitter about this political slight for generations and used this opportunity to send only it's most petty, incompetent spare nobles that would never be considered for any position back home. They really, really pointedly made a hash of it. Doomykins posted:It's important to remember that Warhammer is a medieval setting, grimdark and intentionally taking the piss out of almost every form of government being at least half fascist. Like "the local lord wants your stuff and you're a peasant" medieval, and the Empire has a lot of corrupt shitbags and they're still a cut above being Bretonian where the Lord and peasant divide is much harder and more literal, or hell societies like Skaven, Greenskins or Ogres where the strong and particularly useful cronies have a good time, I guess. Even enlightened societies like the High Elves see slavery as just if they don't like who they apply it to. Tomb Kings? Like it's really only the royal families that understand whats going on. The rank and file skeletons are just sort of half dreaming and think Nekraheria is functioning as it did in it's heyday. Caidin fucked around with this message at 16:32 on Sep 5, 2022 |

At least you can overcome those in many cases to rise up, Greasus himself once being a runt and the nastiest goblins being insanely nasty, cunning bastards. You live in Norsca even just trying to get along subsisting your gonna have to deal with the four coming to call and if your far enough south your religion is basically about how to appease them enough to not bother with you but not enough to attract their attention. It's a fine line to balance, and you tend to get rolled into whatever bullshit the latest champion is calling for anyway.

Azran posted:A thematic difference between the Imperium of Man and the Empire that I think is very indicative of their differences is that in the Imperium Inquisitors are deemed a necessary evil while in the Empire fluff witch hunters are considered misguided and actively harmful whenever they interact with the populace. The thing about Witch Hunters is that they almost seem necessary because the chaos gods can just jump a motherfucker and say their corrupted now. Festus was just this incredible, utterly dedicated doctor and Nurgle said lol. Cults and cultists will simply happen. But then, the brutal ideological purity the WH demand doesn't even matter in that case. The only reason Chaos doesn't win is because they just wanna play the game and not really because of how anyone else plays. Unless your in 40k and it turns the greatest unliving tyrant in the galaxy is in fact so cool that he could set Nurgles entire garden on fire whenever he wanted to. Haha... ha...

This is the easiest Luthor game I think I've ever played. It was almost dicey with Xlanhuapec for a second but Luther went Narcissist before the deciding engagement with about 30 units worth of skink and suarus and Varghasts Revenge along the front line deleted a forth of that on it's own. After that I'm keeping Alberic to slap around for grins but Skolk and some Khornite faction are doing a surprisingly good job of containing the lizards from attacking the awakening. Maybe... maybe I can just take Luthor on tour for once?

So are they ever gonna balance the way some settlements have way, way, WAY defense towers then others? Heading back from the donut after a fine day of planting coves an taking a minute to clear out the built up lizard population and fucks me I forgot how rude the laser towers are compared to poncy arrow shooters. Those things can clear half my deckhands out before they even reach the wall, and probably melt the artillery in the bargain.

Vampire coast feels slightly... dull, after while? Luthor only really wants to hold onto the awakening until his faculties return to him, but I have a sufficiently developed home guard that I've no need to abandon it even if painting the lustrian interior doesn't appeal to me. I left Alberic up just to kick around and let my fleet admiral down there have something to raid to keep them loyal. Otherwise you just sail around, kicking in ports and drowning the resistance in lead only to scoot along if massed reprisal looms. Compared to to more hectic landholders like the Empire or Dwarves it's chill, but maybe too chill.

Playing Katarin and as my first game in IM standing next to the Empire, man they are they getting their rear end kicked. The vampires are getting their rear end kicked, Festus is getting his rear end kicked. Lady Tree-Hitler is just running a train down there. Hot Toddy is gone, Karl has two settlements and one isn't even Altdorf. Marinburg and Nordland are... completely fine actually? Anyway it's concerning.

Ulio posted:Last time I played Katarin, it was in the WH3 campaign but Kislev felt so stressful. I did a bunch of starts on normal then went to very hard and man Kislev is just like border patrol vs the world's worst factions. If the VCs start beating out the Empire you have to fortify the south which is another waste of resource but also in the regular campaign the rifts/portals were another issue. Kislev felt like you are putting out fires from the very start. I do like the invocations mechanic it's one of those things that you can use almost every turn unlike certain factions benefits. Warriors of Chaos and Norsca are my least factions to fight vs so maybe that's why I got stressed but its still a fun campaign. You will enjoy it. Oh I played Kislev in the big bear campaign, I was just noting that it's even more hectic somehow now. Your crammed in with so many dudes out to spank you. Azhag, Thrott, various flavors of Norsca and Azazel and loving wood elves and maybe Grimgor if you get unlucky. I was just amused to see it all explode so quickly. Kraka Drak went from it's full province to gone in like 3 turns. It's like you have to pick a direction of world to save and hope the rest is there next time you check in. It's it's own colder thunderdome. Zhulfban was just confederated by Thorgrim, maybe the dwarves are having a good time?

Vampire coast are sorta like dwarves but the instead of small high stat units it's huge flimsy ones saturating the atmosphere with lead and also some really kickass spells. Get Big Bess, just enough deckhands to speed bump the other guy and never stop shooting. Also your other heroes are good but you live on your gunline and the Gunnery Wright is really loving good for your gunline. Get one. Caidin fucked around with this message at 02:34 on Sep 10, 2022 |

Chernobyl Peace Prize posted:Oh nice, this is all excellent, thanks for the VCoast tips everyone! Noctilus of all the Vampire Coast has the easiest time doing anything because his home turf is a giant pain in the rear end fortress the A.I never tries to take. High Elves are gonna be busy running around trying to fight kinky and edgelords you can fight them head on, poke their undefended bits when they have to move to another front, whatever you want. One to keep in mind is that those Depth Guard units Noctilus likes? They are not a front line. They are deceptively fragile damage dealers that are best committed into hitting someone busy trying to bury your zombies. OwlFancier posted:Yeah and you can also hit stuff with it if you bog them down, but like, it's not that impressive when you could just get a carronade and point it at something and it will reliably knock out a few dudes every time it fires whatever you point it at. Carronades do their okay. But if you want a satisfying cannon other people can do that for you, better. If you want the biggest dumbest gun in the game to fire off and wipe an entire unit in one admittedly sorta lucky shot, Bess is the only one that can make it happen.
