Chomp8645 posted:Treasure hunting is just half-baked in genral. Yeah, it seems more geared towards a single hero unit doing it instead of a entire army since nothing ever attacks you from the events, just attach it to the scout ruin option that already exists.

In my first day playing I honestly thought the ruin exploring mechanic was an elaborate troll and didn't actually exist, since every time I took Mazdamundi up to search for loot, "Surprise! It's me, Toxer!"

I know mortal empires is a thing, but I'm wondering if they'll ever let us play old world races on the vortex map. Factions like the Vampire Coast and the New World Colonies just have an odd distinctiveness in their start positions and banners and such that make them far more interesting than they should be.

I hardly do treasure hunts, but they are kinda neat. I'm usually trying to get past the stack takes the most dmg ever for colonizing hit as fast as possible. I usually make a empty lord just to colonize cause if someone rolls up, your dead.NewMars posted:I know mortal empires is a thing, but I'm wondering if they'll ever let us play old world races on the vortex map. Bet it's gonna only be dlc races that have some reason to try to take the vortex. Tenzarin fucked around with this message at 03:43 on Oct 6, 2017 |

Ra Ra Rasputin posted:Best results I've gotten from treasure hunts were 20% research for 5 turns, 750g or a couple turns worth of ritual currency with some major penalties for choosing wrong. I actually got a Warlock engineer really early on from a ruins. I'm curious how fast you can reasonably complete the ritual. I imagine it takes a bit of luck- getting quests you can easily compete, capturing all the cities with ritual currency, and running your Lord quests ASAP. Though if you do manage to pull it off you'll get a ton of initiative. Not just for the ritual bonuses, but also all the experience from fighting off enemy stacks.

I had a city under siege by one faction and then another faction came and attacked the city, but only the lord with the army there came to the battle, not the garrison of the city under siege.

Yeah, it would be pretty great. You could probably do charges of it as an expensive lord ability, like 1k a pop, which would give it some trade offs though I understand why they didn't do it.

I am not sure how I missed until now that executing captives only gets you one turn of +100 xp as lizardmen unless it's skaven, in which case sotek is on that poo poo like snakes on the hideous ratling abominations

Things suddenly went to poo poo on turn 80 of Kroq's campaign. Through allies or conquest I own pretty much the whole Southlands bar some lovely Vamp enclaves that need cleaning up, but I think I spread myself too thin and was a bit too ambitious in painting the map. The first two rituals had me just defending my starting province which was easy enough, but ritual three came with it defending two other ritual sites halfway across the continent in addition to the Temple of Skulls, plus the High Elfs decided to send an intervention after me that was a 20-strong stack of nothing but dragons. So my economy is still strong and the game isn't lost but I feel a strong urge to restart anyway because...it's just not optimal? Spreading out into the desert was a huge mistake and felt like a bad habit left over from TW1. Might take this chance to try out another race I haven't played yet. Still 0 complete campaigns under my belt.

So is Skaven territorial expansion basically just you running out of food unless you're selective about where you settle? I took over the whole of the Southlands as Queek, and despite owning an entire content I had like -20 food per turn because I could no longer raid easily and there weren't really armies to fight except the ritual spawns.
