I love it when the enemy encircles my skaven slaves and my warpthrowers come along and hose them down with the indifference of a man hosing the ants off their driveway. I love it when my deathrunners descend on some archer mob, I fuckin' love lobbing artillery and death magic into my own ranks without a single gently caress to give. Although I wish there was an option to make your ranged units fire regardless of obstruction. If you're between warpthrowers and infantry than I put you there for a reason.

Is ME still broken with Chaos/Dwarf spam and incorrect difficulty settings?

Chaos were a manageable number of stacks, nothing like the horror stories I've heard about. I heard difficulty settings were fixed, not but I'm not certain.

Did they change the southern Chaos stack spawns? In my earlier ME as Last Defenders they spawned in the middle of the desert, i.e. my province, completely loving me over with no armies at home. In my last TK playthrough they spawned in the sea between the continents, which was much more manageable.

Do the Chaos stacks also still beeline for the player, or actually fight along the way?

Vlex posted:Do the Chaos stacks also still beeline for the player, or actually fight along the way? Can't recall if CA fixed the Chaos invasion, but in case they didn't and you're not happy about that, this mod will reinstate the time-based trigger for the Chaos Invasion to happen as well as ensuring the Chaos subfactions start at war with nearly everyone and removing their laser focus on the player: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1183083111 I was convinced it was broken earlier, but there's a window of time for the 150/200 invasion thresholds. I got the first wave at about 156 or 157, so don't fret if it doesn't seem to be working.

Third World Reggin posted:my man, have you heard about mods Liberating is nice, especially if you mix it with the "Liberate as Vassal" mod. Still, it won't be enough until you can capture a city and just straight up give it to another faction through diplomacy instead of having to piggyback off stuff like "what to do with captured settlement" triggers and scripts. Warhammer and Total War and all, but at a certain point I gotta admit to myself that I just want some Paradox-esque (or not even, some of these functions were in older games) diplomatic interactions in the game so I can get my pretty borders on.

The liberation part was always nice in that mod since if a faction had a leader you wanted and the faction died, you could just go create it again then confederate it later.

Yeah, the "8 capitals minimum" requirement is the dealbreaker for me, TBH. I know you can technically get it pretty easily if the "good" factions are alive since the Shield of Civilization bonus is usually enough for a military alliance, but it kinda makes the Age of Peace mechanic obsolete that way since you might just be able to trigger the victory right as you dunk on Archaon for the final time. If not the turn timer, then at least cut down the required number of provinces to trigger the invasion. As it stands, the Empire should practically be united and the Dwarf Holds covering the entire Badlands and the eastern mountain range just to start the first wave.

Yeah, they changed it to require Imperium level, so your empire has to be pretty drat big to even trigger the first wave, and then you have to keep expanding during the invasion to summon Archaon. It's really poorly done; my Empire run had me holding most of the Grey Mountains, Tilea, and the Border Princes on top of the southern and eastern half of the Empire just to pop off the first wave. Thanks heavens for modders, I guess.

I think they are, even on VH; it's just that diplo AI doesn't affect them ganking settlements in your provinces or whatever. That's a game mechanics issue, not a diplomacy one.

You can make deals with strong factions if your power rating is super high in addition to having good relations. Best time to make trade deals is when you confederate a faction and shoot up the power scale from inheriting their armies (if they have any).

The border princes are best described as a near Lawless Hellhole. Pretty much someone will take a chunk of it's land for themself declare themselves a Prince and rule over that piece. That person varies throughout the Border Princes from Rich Former Noble to some Bandit. Most of these new "Principalitys" as they call them are usually quickly wiped out by new aspiring princes or Greenskinz. And then a new one pops up in it's place. Here is the average Border Prince.  Here is the average Principality  Here are some in universe quotes that describe the area pretty well. quote:"Aye, we’ve a prince. Why, we’ve had a dozen in just the last year! They’re pop’lar in these here lands." quote:"Ha! You call this starving lot of dogs peasants? Why the wretches in Couronne were better fed than this lot. Useless, every last one of them."

Except in this case the "kingdom" consists of anything from a collection of mud huts to a small town with a palisade. Particularly powerful border princes might have two or even THREE towns in their sphere of influence.

Has anyone had a quest for a legendary item just fail to fire sometimes? Volkmar just hit level 8, he's got the item listed as having a check in his little skill screen, but the first step in the quest, or there being a quest at all, isn't starting.

This often happens when you reload a save on the same turn the quest popped, or the same turn a new stage of the mission triggered. So try not to crash during those turns! Can also happen at other times.
