Broken Cog posted:I had at least 8-9 different rogue armies spawn during my Eltharion campaign, 3 of which declared war on me. They are definitely still around. Can confirm turn 101 in my thorgrim campaign and they're all over the map, even have 5 settlements going in TK land.

Broken Cog posted:Alright, but no unit limitations? Cheers You're not limited to any of the units, however a lot of the tree units work much better depending on the lord. Like, using tree-kin and dryads is much more fun and worthwhile under Durthu or Drycha, which you won't have if you don't buy Realm of the Wood Elves.

Squibbles posted:In my game I just encountered the School of Pyrotechnics, whos armies consist entirely of a lord and hellblaster volley guns. Their settlement garrisons appear to be a combination of hellblasters and grenade launcher cav. The first army of theirs I encountered as actually 16 hellblasters. I did too, but Taurox with a couple Minotaur units simply deleted them. I'm finishing my campaign as Beastmen, and I think there's something broken with AI reacting to them - I had enemy attack me total of 2 times.

IDK the AI likes to gently caress with my herd stones, which is annoying, because they autoresolve really poorly.

Guess I'm just unlucky in not hitting many rogue armies. Miners with blasting charge are dirt cheap in single player. They seem undercost in multi but I don't have a clue about balance there.

It might be in part because you spend so much time hidden. Unless you're raiding or sieging, which I spent almost no time doing as Taurox.

I started a Volkmar campaign to see what all the fuss was about and noticed that they moved Knights of the Blazing Sun to the regular cavalry building. I stared at it for about a minute thinking I had accidentally installed some lovely unit mod. Anyway Volkmar is really good now, arguably a better first pick for a Reikland campaign over Karl "+8 leadership  " Franz.

1st_Panzer_Div. posted:Guess I'm just unlucky in not hitting many rogue armies. Their stats are really horrid even when buffed up and the enemies you'll be facing will eat them up. They're great behind a line of shielded dawi units while throwing their blasting charge into the charging enemy then going in and absorbing some damage while dealing a little out. They're numbers are good for taking down big lords by swarming them and landing those MA free hits as the lord tries to push through them. Even in campaign they're terrible so don't fall into the trap of having a ton of them, use at most 4 per stack but by T3 you shouldn't have any in your army at all unless it's a themed lord.

I think it depends on the map, the lighting and stuff is on a per map basis. Some look great, some make units look like poo poo. Maybe you are just playing in a new area and getting new maps?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0FCv5xfbq38 Massive effort mod to create a narrative dwarf mercenary company campaign. It includes custom battles, cutscenes, unique units, voice acting and a mission select. It’s basically a version of the Shadow of the Horned Rat in the Total War engine. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2560175114 Triskelli fucked around with this message at 13:10 on Jul 31, 2021 |

A friend said he is crashing while loading up the reunite mod and I just downloaded and loaded it up with the listed required mods and I'm getting the default advisor voice-over instead of theirs during the movies and the battles aren't starting. Do the required mods also require mods? edit: I got it working myself in kaedrin's mod manager with the right load order, but my friend still seems to have it crash on the first battle and have the advisor talk about elves.

Am I missing something or do the new Chameleon Stalkers really put how bad red-crested skinks are into perspective. You get to pay more for worse stats and worse special rules? I mean they're a tier lower, but why the hell are you paying more?

Yet another reason I hate the pandemic Luckyspade, the guy that makes my favorite mod, works for the NHS so the past 18 months he's been busy with his normal job instead of the mod. The great thing about many of the changes is that it makes blasting charge miners tremendously effective at their intended role. The overhaul tweaks friendly unit collision which has two benefits-offensively melee units can get more guys in stabbing range particularly in choke points and sieges. Defensively blast effects are absolutely devastating to said clumped units. Bomb throwing zombies from vampire coast are a similar story. They are devastating when used correctly but you need finesse because you only get a few shots and it's ideal to set them to hold fire until the critical moment.

I mean they're a tier lower, but why the hell are you paying more? Unit size. Red Crests have more models per unit than the stalkers, which means that they're much better at up front fair engagements. Stalkers have a tiny unit size so they can get easily swamped.

Elukka posted:Huh, does Thorek get a confederation event? Is this ME only, since the other Dwarf lands aren't on the Vortex map? I think he has one on both but I can confirm the ME one for sure. On ME it's a dilemma that let's you confederate the minor dwarf faction just south of Black Crag. I think on Vortex you get the chance to confederate the Spine of Sotek dwarfs.

Throek gets one in Vortex too. Shortly after you secure your starting province you get an event to confederate your northern neighbors.
