If nagash is supposed to have control over all the undead you could probably make a fun faction based around nicking undead, and possibly lords, from the other undead factions. Like your objectives are to conquer and take control of the other undead factions and as you do you get access to more of their rosters. Would be a fun bit of the map to fight over IMO, from nagashizzar up north to the empire and south to nehekara.

Normal regeneration is very good on units that don't die immediately, so giving any unit a special, deathless pool of HP that can regenerate, is going to be fairly busted, even if you try to make it conditonal, unless you make it so conditional that it never happens, it's going to necessarily become the entire focus of the unit because a unit that can just not take HP damage is a unit that becomes worth many times its cost.

Thought it would be a good idea to update drivers and apparently I was like a full 100 versions behind lol. Hopefully it doesn't run too bad, TW2 looks great and runs fine so hopefully I can at least set it to look like that. Tirranek posted:Any idea how much wiggle room it will need to unpack? I managed to get about 130gb free on the SSD. You can move installs between drives in steam so if you need to you can install it initially on a plate drive and presumably then move it over afterwards.

I know that because I had to move some stuff around to try and make room but no way I can make room on the SSD, but I was also running TW2 on the plate drive so eh, at least it has a rematch button now. PC's starting to show its age but lmao at buying new parts at the moment.

The kislev roster feels very... samey. Everything is both ranged and melee, so there's really not much differentiation, it's just a whole army of lothern sea guard.

Restarted as cathay and I think I like them more than kislev, the ying yang stuff is interesting cos it makes units that otherwise might be a bit meh, quite good if you position them properly. I think I am going to want some sky lanterns just so they can buff my melee infantry.

I don't even know if I think they're weird, they're just lothern sea guard the faction, they're less weird and just seemingly very boring because every unit does every thing so you just get as many of them and the best ones you can and then throw them at the enemy.

Dr. Clockwork posted:How do you form a confederation outside of beating a faction down? I don't see any option for it on the diplomacy screen. In WH2 not all factions can confederate, but it should be on there at the bottom with alliances, NAPs etc. AnEdgelord posted:now that I think about it maybe its just the gunpowder units throwing me, they're so insanely short ranged compared to the ice guard, I just built the building for ice guard so maybe its time to transition to full stacks of them with some little groms to taste Put the armoured kossars at the front (or streltsi, presumably, direct fire still) and put the archers behind, but you can also just mash them all into the enemy if you want or when you run out of ammo. I think you probably still want some armoured units just to eat enemy missile fire and do AP damage, but you can probably spam any unit and it would work, such is the nature of ranged/melee hybrids. Also ice guard are very strong generally and katarin gets them cheap so maybe she wants a full stack. OwlFancier fucked around with this message at 03:15 on Feb 18, 2022 |

deep dish peat moss posted:Eagerly awaiting the mod that turns off settlement battles. I can appreciate what they're going for but man, the only battles I ever like in TW games are big open field battles where I can mash big army against big army. I don't want to play DOTA splitting my army up and sending them up 3 different lanes past towers My suggestion would be not to try and attack from multiple directions, bulk your forces on one side and send your cav or a light flanking force to capture the rear objectives for the momentum buffs/draw some of their troops away, and spend most of your time to hammer down the enemy in one spot. It makes it more like a field battle too.

Totally breaks up the flow of the game. Sure I can autoresolve them but minor settlement battles are like... 90% of all of the battles in TW3, lmao

Oh right, in that case you only need one ranged with your front line and sky units count, failing that celestial dragon crossbows are pretty tough and it's worth throwing one in with your melee line to just give them the big buffs. If needs be you can partition off your line into squads with a few melee dudes and one ranged dude. E: oh and keep a hero/lord near each block, as they improve overall harmony bonuses.

Man tzeench is loving broken, everything just deletes you with fireballs, only counter seems to be having more firepower than they do.Lord Koth posted:That seems insanely strong for a Tzeentch playthrough, and really good for a Khorne one (just look at how many of their high tier units and heroes deal flaming damage). Also maybe convincing someone on an Ogre playthrough to actually use Firebellies. I got it from sending a caravan to altdorf, so I don't know if it's available for other factions or if you can capture it.

Lord Koth posted:Ah, if it's one of the trade caravan rewards that's somewhat unfortunate. It's not completely useless for Cathay, but it's not incredibly useful either. There's one spell in Lore of Yang (Dragon's Breath) and their artillery (both pieces plus the Sky-Junk), but that's it in terms of fire damage. Though I guess that keeps it somewhat balanced as opposed to having it accessible to one of the factions with extensive access to fire. The AI has a bunch of caravans running around, but I don't know if they get the same rewards.

Kanos posted:Re: minor settlement towers: I think the big issue with them is that the piercing towers are sort of equally good at killing very expensive units and very cheap ones, so they hurt more if they focus on a high end unit, and their range lets them countersnipe quite effectively. That said you can knock them down with a couple of arrow volleys so you can do that too. This is also why I tend to favour putting most of the force in one place because pushing forward is difficult, so it's generally preferable I think to try and crush the bulk of the enemy in one attack, so you aren't getting attritioned as they fall back (and they do fall back, as well as placing units in likely choke points to prevent you spreading out from your initial attack location and they will bring those in as reserves once you commit) Honestly I'm finding the siege AI surprisingly good, I think on the whole it is better than TW2 and that's extra impressive given the complexity of the new maps. They seem a bit scatterbrained sometimes but I definitely feel like they are trying for some semblance of a thematic defence where they respond to you relatively well and will try to give ground as you take sections and set up more defences.

You can't build stuff in enemy settlements, it just blows up all their stuff and gives you a "momentum" buff which increases map wide attack value for your units and I think some vigor bonuses?

You don't have to put them all into one street but I would focus on at least one side, if you can quickly flank by a neighbouring route that's good but if you're forced into a small bottleneck then so is the enemy, and you don't have the disadvantage of divided attention that the AI doesn't suffer from.

canada jezus posted:Empire or dwarfs for Kislev allies? Unit wise i mean. I kind of feel like i want 4 thunderers. Other than tanks I can't really see what the empire would offer you, as kislev already has human level armour, guns, and artillery. Whereas dwarfs could give you poo poo like gyrocopters, irondrakes, ironbreakers etc, frankly I always wish I had dwarf infantry.

I think I like the different faction campaign mechanics and some of the general additions to the campaign a lot more than I do the unit rosters tbh, but then I also really liked the SFO campaign layer and found the base TW2 one dull as ditchwater. Haven't started the chaos realms stuff yet so we will see how annoying that is.

I like the barricades but the towers feel like whack a mole, and disproportionately annoy your valuable units too. They don't really stop you from winning the battle but they do make it more likely you're going to have to stop for a few turns to replace some key unit.

If anything I think my issue with settlement attacks is that the AI is surprisingly good at defending them, they aren't always great at using all their units perfectly optimally but they certainly do well enough to make them really annoying to fight. I think the only thing that would make me want to return to WH2 is that I still really like the SFO balancing and economy, but I think this is much better than baseline WH2 even accounting for the fact that I don't enormously like the factions that much other than cathay.
