Question for you modders: how hard would it be to put wurrzag in charge of the blue vipers? I'd really like it for the vortex map, but would settle for ME.

Also the pyramids are making engine revving noises which coincidentally are the sounds of the millions of anguished souls goaded into animating the pyramid into motion *some Liche Priest or Netcrotect is down there whipping a bunch of Ghosts into running faster on their hamster wheels*

Greenskins pop waaagh while sieging me, assault that same turn (so the waaagh army isn't involved) Get beat, reduced to 9 units Waaagh immediately sieges me again, preventing replenishment ....that's a bug right? The waaagh is supposed to die? Cuz it's stupid as hell.

IIRC, however, you might be able to instantly disband the Waaagh! by killing/wounding their Lord during the battle.

It might also have something to do with the fact that the Waagh army is a separate 'faction' that takes it turn immediately after the parent faction, so the Waagh army might be able to do stuff before it counts as needing to be disbanded. It feels like a kludgy workaround to get the mechanic to work, like something I would expect from some mod but not something that should be baked into the game. I don't see why they couldn't have programmed Waaghs/Brayherds to be some 3rd category (neither fully controlled by you, nor an allied faction) to fix quirks like this.

I had a 17 unit army as Wurrzag, got the waaagh! then had my shaman wounded from dancing too much. The waaagh! stuck around 1 more turn then disbanded on my turn.

Sorry, most of this is not correct. To disband a waagh you need to knock the parent army down below 17 units, this is all thats is needed. However if this happens during your endturn time (like mentioned above) it will disappear after you end your turn. This can lead to situations where you get attacked by the main army, you fight them and win, and then the waagh army comes in on ITS turn right afterwards because it hasn't disbanded yet which can be frustrating.

I got 30 turns into a very hard Dwarf ME campaign. The green tide is real, I have seen it. The killer was the High Elf rogue army rolling down from Mt Gunbad with their gently caress You stack of dragon princes. I quit.

Yeah, gently caress that, that's pure RNG. Only way it could've been worse was it being Vashnaar's Dark Elf/Chaos party van.

It was a very strong ability before but against Tomb Kings its ridiculously effective. TK's might need some way to deal with fire damage, it can screw them so hard. The ability itself is actually pretty tricky to use well in most cases, it just happens that all the TK's are weak against fire. Kroq'Gar is pretty overpowered though. Lizardmen in general are probably the most powerful faction atm and can be total cancer to fight against. Nephthys fucked around with this message at 14:00 on Feb 18, 2018 |

I knew he had it but by random chance it took a shitload of battles before I ever fought lizards, so godDAM I didn't realize how good it was. It being hard to use is good, but otoh Kroq seems so good that idk if he needs a badass missile attack on top of it all. I'd spent the whole game whittling down and kiting the dino fucker and was winning the army battle. Kroq had a sliver of health vs a 3/4 health chariot Arkhan and there was an opening so I figured I'd cruise in and waste him. NOPE INSTAKILL

Ambushes are so much fun to trigger, and it is interesting how different factions can use them in unique ways- Skaven probably are the best at it, since not only can they ambush on the move AND trigger one when their garrisons Sally out. You can also get crazy high ambush chance bonuses and you'll proc them quite a lot. Beastmen are similar but in their case need to be popping ambushes since their play style is more guerilla warfare. I've heard that wood elves also get extremely high ambush chance and have a good roster to take advantage of it. Tomb Kings can have crazy good ambush chance if you focus on stacking it, and being undead with access to Lore of death lets you crater enemy leadership to quickly trigger a mass routes. Empire and Dwarves hardly ever proc an ambush, but the rare times you get one off it can be amazing. One time Thorgrim managed to ambush Grimgor next to Pillars early on which utterly wrecked him and gave me a ton of early momentum. Did similar thing with Empire , who at least has the advantage of getting a follower that boosts ambush chance and is close enough to Skarsnik (whose trait further improves ambush chance).

I haven't played Beastmen in ages but from my experience a long time ago: Khazrak is the best LL to start with - Morghur is good but he discourages you from using Minotaurs and Minotaurs are super good and you want them. You'll start off with two armies and just keep them together, don't split up - consider merging all the troops into one army and just using the second one as a lord tagging along to get experience, even. Raid a lot for cash, raze undefended settlements and go hide away from stuff to avoid retribution. When you actually have the numbers to assault defended cities, consider doing it when you get the Dark Moon event that gives you massive replenishment bonuses - that way even if you lose lots of troops in the attack, you'll replenish up to the full almost immediately and have lost effectively nothing. Don't worry about just moving to an entirely new area of the map to prey on someone else if you feel it's untenable to stay where you are.

Khazrak on his pimpmobile is quite strong, probably one of the stronger melee Legendary Lords. Gorebulls give great army bonuses and are no slouches in combat. Since everybody can colonize anywhere you can hide out till an enemy army occupies a ruin and crush them easily. You want to build up to getting a Brayherd which in conjunction with your main army will have enough oomph to smash fortified cities.

S.J. posted:Is the beastman special campaign any fun? Maybe if you haven't fought the Empire much it might be because they're almost the only other faction in it. That makes it kind of repetitive, I thought the wood elf mini campaign was done better. One mod I would recommend for a beastmen campaign is regional occupation. This mod makes it so factions can't colonize uninhabitable terrain: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1246143901 In game 1 you could carve a path of destruction as the beastmen:  But everyone being able to occupy every type of settlement means that the ruins you make will usually be taken by someone pretty quickly. So with this mod the choices of what towns/factions you go after are more meaningful.

I always get horde growth asap and gorebulls. Gorebulls give so much bonuses to your army that the earlier you have one the sooner he'll get leveled up.
