I suck at this game. I can't win those reinforcement battles within the empire at all. Two swordsmen, a handgunner and an empire knights + the huntsman general is not enough for me to swing those fights as the defending force is severely outnumbered. Do people have to have Turin levels of micro to win this or is there something I am missing? Playing on hard battle difficulty.

Playing as Gelt and holy poo poo these interventions you can do in the defense of another elector are cool as poo poo. Invest cash or prestige, get a poo poo army to fight some thematic opponent like Norsca or Skaven. I'm actually digging it.

ad090 posted:The fact that it's going to take until the next patch to fix ports is ridiculous. It takes 150 turns I believe for a tier 5 port to make a profit now. Taking into account how long it takes to get to tier 5 in the first place, it's never worth it at any point in any campaign now to build up ports.

Raygereio posted:In the reddit ama, they did at least acknowledge that they went to far with the ports. But it's a bit disconcerting that the devs thought loving with the player's income would make the game more difficult, as opposed to more boring though. Not just that, do a simple cost/benefit analysis of how much money you get vs how much it costs. A port costs more than a basic Empire hatmaker and gives less money.

played Nakai for a couple hours and he's a lot of fun. starting near so much skaven just gives hilarious battles of hundreds of rats melting to a handful of chunky lizards.

Are the 'Children of the Old Ones' stacks that spawn to fight Wulfhart supposed to have Unbreakable on every single unit? Because wow, that was an awful battle where I lost almost every unit in an ambush I set up. I just re-loaded and auto-resolved for barely any casualties instead, if that's intentional what an awful mechanic.

How am I supposed to get my special hero units back playing as Wulfhart? The elf died because of some autoresolve bullshit and I can't find how to get her back in the game. edit: lol she just randomly spawned where my army wasn't, nevermind

Holy poo poo you can recruit multiples of some of the RoR you get from Elector counts. There's a 10 turn cooldown between, but still. Although it looks like you only get one blue steam tank. EDIT: Tried loading the no intro movies mod. Just that. Game freezes when I click on Wulfhart on the campaign selection screen. Disabled it, and the game is fine. Tried loading the Home Region Movement Bonus mod... same deal. Looks like mods are borked again? Gonkish fucked around with this message at 22:29 on Sep 11, 2019 |

I toggled on the ones with green checks and my game loaded fine, but half still need an update still so my helf ME campaign is on hold for now and I’m enjoying a vanilla Vortex game with Nakai. Hopefully everything works soon

Dunno about movement bonus but I'm guessing the intro movies mod and the guy with the brand new intro movie might not play nice?

Yeah I had to load with nothing active, get through the new movies, started a game, created a hard save, then quit and restarted with the move skip active and I was good

Yeah, but the problem is being caused by any other mods, too. Weirdly, the background on the main menu changes to older DLC (namely P&W), or vanilla (with the great vortex). I'm just gonna wait it out and play a vanilla campaign as Markus or Nakai.

I am definitely not using War Wagons or Huntsmen to their fullest as Wolfhart. Right now I'm just using Huntsmen as basically better, cheaper crossbows and tucking them behind my lines instead of up front. As-is, I stand by my earlier thoughts that vanguard and stalk seem kind of wasted on them and that it'd seem more impactful on handgunners instead so they could get good flanking fire on engaged lines. Any tips for use?

Markus is really strong when he can shoot but he's insanely frustrating to use because he gets the brain problems a lot of ranged units get and loves to ignore orders to shoot and run into melee constantly. His focused shot ability is particularly terrible about it since it seems to have a completely flat trajectory.

Either Nakai is incredibly overpowered or I need to raise the difficulty, and it can't be the latter because I am not very good at this game.

The difficulty of hoard style factions is managing money and growth. Neither are an issue for Nakai so yeah he's just plain busted. Plus he's an absolute beast on the battlefield.

War Wagons in campaign seem to suffer the same fate of other small unit mobile shooters like deck droppers in campaign - they simply don't do enough damage to justify their slot. They're decent poke damage and can do some (incredibly budget) chariot maneuvers, but I'm not convinced you're not better off with replacing them with some actual shooters or some actual heavy cavalry to do either job infinitely better. I've honestly been getting better results out of pistoliers, of all things. Except Mortar Wagons, which kick rear end and are basically just better mortars.

Sure wish battles with reinforcements on both sides didn’t still suck poo poo, especially since they work in 3k Like poo poo just remove the dumbass “trickle on” and let everything up to 40 units deploy. It’s not like “hhmmmmmmm yes my reinforcements will come from precisely... here! And in this order... yes, yes!” Is something anyone can ever consider on the campaign map. My next suggested change: no trickle on past 40. The stacks duke it out and if the loser has more, Another Challenger Appears and you have to make your poo poo stack work vs the depleted enemy/rally your haggard troops for the next wave.

It's weird that you get a trespassing malus for helping other Imperial electors if you don't have an access agreement. Like... hey Fuckwit von Dumbshit, YOU begged ME for help and now you're mad because a one off detachment of like five units saved your fat rear end and then instantly disappeared? What? gently caress you. I'm sure it will be changed/modded out, but god that was annoying to find out. Also, Nakai IS a loving monster, holy poo poo. I am currently beating up Vikings and he just happily plows through entire formations, turning them into a fine red mist. Also the dive animation Boxigors (Sacred Kroxigors have boxing gloves, they are boxigors) do when they charge poo poo is amazing. Straight up shoulder slam some fuckers and ruin their day.

70ish turns deep in this Nakai campaign, still only one horde, but I've killed Wulfric and taken over the whole of western Norsca. Once you get the techs that make you immune to Chaos and Snow attrition you can dumpster Vikings all day long.

I've honestly been getting better results out of pistoliers, of all things. Don't forget the hellblaster wagon - that thing's terrifying. But war wagons have a much worse problem than deck droppers in that they are basically slower outriders with far fewer guns; at least deck droppers can get places like over the enemy artillery. With only six outrider guns per war wagon I'm not surprised that pistoleers outperform them against anything with ARM < 100. (I wonder how much more popular pistoleers would be if most people weren't introduced to them by shredding them at the Battle of the Bloodpine Woods)

Messed with both new lords from the DLC today. Nakai is definitely more my speed as Empire just isn't to my taste (I like sturdy infantry). Wulfhart is cool, has more interesting mechanics for sure but both are very well realized and unique offerings among their factions. More excited about Gotrek though, frankly. Dwarfs are my jam.
