I can't finish a campaign. Every time I see a somewhat equally-matched army and it runs away from me every goddamn turn and if I try to engage they decide to withdraw instead. I'm waiting for mods (specifically the home region movement bonus mod), this loving sucks.

I've been trying to bait with ambush stance and it very rarely works because the AI isn't as easily baited, it seems, as in TWWH2. I wonder if it has to do with the VH campaign setting? Maybe I'm just lucky, I usually sit in the nearby forest for 70% ambush chance but I have yet to get a single ambush and I'm about finished with my Kislev campaign.

Ra Ra Rasputin posted:Are you using a solo lord as bait next to the ambush? if a random agent doesn't ruin the ambush early it should be a juicy target for the AI to go after. Oh poo poo good point, I just put an ambush near a tiny little settlement but the AI is probably a lot more reticent to try and take a single settlement now since minor settlements aren’t just field battles. But if there’s a solo lord as bait, the AI will think it gets to gobble them up in a field battle.

I really don't like fighting out and besieging minor settlement maps. It really should just be an open field battle, but defenders get 2 towers and some deployables or something.

AI made a doomstack, or whatever you want to call it, of Feral Mammoths. 14 feral mammoths, some champions and fimir, and a Lord and, like, a hero. I was really worried but actually they're complete pushovers. 3 died on approach before engaging "lines" The far more dangerous enemy was the champions. Armored Kossars are just really weak it seems. Like, extremely flimsy. But Tzar guard are brick walls. Kislev is very weird. Excited to try Grand Cathay and play as The Correct Sibling.

I think cavalry get stuck inside enemy units a lot easier than monsters. Maybe it’s because of their shape?

orangelex44 posted:It’s not mass. The reason cav feel weird is that cavalry charges don’t do damage; attack animations do. It’s unintuitive that a charge that bowls over an entire company is often worse than one that leaves the units on their feet. Yeah this does drive me nuts. A charge into the rear of an enemy that launches them 30 feet doesn’t do poo poo for damage. Sometimes when cavalry chase dudes down that are retreating it takes them forever to actually kill them because they’re knocking them over constantly.

Minotaurs are the best charging units in the game. They move at 20000 speed and instantly gib every unit that isn’t a Minotaur Every single horse unit is extremely unwieldy. Make cavalry extremely fragile to counterbalance a powerful charge I guess, ugh

Honestly I'm just salty as poo poo that TWWH3 doesn't run as well as TWWH2 and I don't have mod support and immortal empires. If they just had chaos rifts, new factions, and the diplomacy changes in TWWH2's ME campaign I'd be pretty dang happy.

Rifts On/Off would be a good toggle. It’s not like you need to gently caress with Chaos you could just send an invading army in and have it randomly drop you off somewhere around the world where you can get to conquering, fighting a hopefully fun enemy. It’s annoying when you get to a point where your main enemy is, like, your own faction. Let me teleport off to the thunder dome, dang

Funky See Funky Do posted:I wouldn't mind the AI being suicidal as long as it has a full stack. I've got vague memories from Rome 1 where the AI would attack with a couple of peasant units and that sucks, but as long as there's a full army then they should just go for it no matter the odds. Yeah, honestly giving defenders a choke point is a more than sufficient advantage. Add a tower or two and it’s gonna be similarly insurmountable with even a token Garrison. They can even have the choke point be presented as a ruined part of a wall, so the defenders are protecting the invaders who are attacking through a “breach” in a massive wall. Towers are still firing the whole time, of course. Like, every Warhammer game shows exactly that playing out: a bunch of humans get chopped up by orcs or chaos demons or whatever that break a hole in a wall and invade through it.

TOOT BOOT posted:I'm surprised they haven't said much about performance, the game gets substantially lower FPS than WH2 despite having mostly the same settings. I feel like kind of out of nowhere new games have been exceedingly unoptimized on PC. Elden Ring, Stranger of Paradise, and TWWH3 are all pretty terribly optimized.

Collapsing Farts posted:I like cavalry despite it being SuBoPtImAl but holy poo poo does it suck during sieges and settlements. There's no room to maneouver and you get stuck on everything Yeah they’d probably be better served being given an option to step off the horse to be reclassified as infantry with +10 MA/MD or some poo poo so they’re useful in a siege. Usually I just send them out to die in front of the towers so they can help the towers nab some more kills.

I fight less field battles since the AI just bails when they’re not able to absolutely crush my dudes. Launching without any mod support is my biggest issue. TWWH1 launched with a few mods made by CA, like the “resettle anywhere” mod.Twigand Berries posted:

SteelMentor posted:With regards to artillery, I think it might have to do with how the Grand Cannon/Little Grom/Ironblaster's animations have to factor in the beastie pulling them as compared to artillery of prior games being pushed into position. Noticed a lot of the time when my pieces aren't firing, they're turning around at random chasing their tail or need slightly shimmying to unstick them, hopefully the unit responsiveness fixes will help. The oxen should be on either side of the artillery then
