If the elves want to quickly replenish their ranks, they can raise the dead like normal people.

Elves and Dwarves are always dying out, teetering on the edge of extinction, but also there are enough of them to die by the tens of thousands every few decades in massive mega wars. Warhammer lol

Baby Dwarfs grow fast, and recapturing a lost hold is always celebrated with a giant orgy.

Any good Kislev mods? I found one to give katarin her sleigh and I have no idea if it's actually good but I can't not use it, and it's making me want to start another Katarin game. There doesn't seem to be as many of the big changes to Kislev the way there are for Empire (though Empire obviously has 3 games worth of mods to draw on).

This is such a genuinely great idea I might have to pick it up. "literally huntsmen" actually works really good for the concept of the unit and gives them a niche separate from the other bow units Kislev has.

Long lived near-humans who reproduce as fast as us and mature by 20 but live to be 300-1000 makes a bit of sense for the Warhammer scale of war if you ignore "dying out" as literal low birthrate. Could say their cultures are fading from glory(Elves) or literally dying(Dwarves, constantly losing lands/getting wiped by Skaven and Orks.) Humans who live to 100 at best can have double digit kids if they try. An Elven or Dwarven family could hit the triple digits per couple. And every kid who hits 20+ can do the same! What a pyramid scheme! OK, it's Warhammer, there's A LOT of death to go around. Most media doesn't even attempt to approach long life races with any logistics, admittedly with good reason. Imagine how our rate of scientific progress would be if Einstein was still alive in the prime of his life that will last another 2 centuries minimum and he can rub shoulders with every great mind born since The Renaissance. It's a dizzying task to write a believable world following that. All that nerd poo poo to say it's canon that Elves and Dwarves gently caress.

What a pyramid scheme! OK, it's Warhammer, there's A LOT of death to go around. The "correct" (meaning, traditional) minimum number of kids for a Dwarf couple is 4, partly because of the composition of the Ancestor Gods (Valaya and her 3 husbands) and partly because Dwarfs have a 3:1 gender ratio. Many Dwarf couples will dutifully have 4 children then decide they don't want to inflict the decline of their people on a 5th, because the Dwarfs (particularly of the Old Holds) are depressed as a people in general but aren't going to let that get in the way of getting on with things. toasterwarrior posted:i wish there was more lore of interdwarf political tension between the idea that it is good and dwarfenly proper to follow the high king because they wouldn't be the high king if they didn't deserve, and that the high king is a goddamn liberal who's just letting these grudges slip by and shaming our ancestorssss The correct way to demonstrate that you are not a fan of the High King is through intense Grumbling

SirPhoebos posted:I think a more reasonable take would be that high elf reproductive habits are in line with modern US/Western Europe birthrates. And whenever the high elves get reminded what setting they're in, it takes long drat time to recover those losses. Yeah, that's my take. High Elven society is run by self interested lords, and it takes a lot of money and hassle to raise kids (state schools? Who are you kidding? You can pay for tutors!) Rich ladies don't want the distraction of having kids while poor ones can't afford it and want to rise in society. And they can all cast contraception charms. Meanwhile the Dark Elves are closer to Modest Proposal style incentives for people to have kids so it's not ruinous in the same way.

Malekith, for all that is wrong with him, turns out to be a staunch believer in social security nets and have generous state-sponsored child benefits to parents. This is of course payed for with taxes on corsair activity. Edit: Did your kid get turned into a witch elf spa-bath? Don't worry! Get two more and we recompensate with 4 times the monthly child support from the state! Noir89 fucked around with this message at 14:38 on Dec 29, 2023 |

The title of High King is decided, upon the death of the previous, by the kings of the dwarven realms voting on which king they believe has made the greatest accomplishments. Thorgrim won the title of High King for reestablishing contact with the northern realm of Kraka Drak, which the southern dwarves had thought was destroyed by Chaos long ago.

Thorgrim won the title of High King for reestablishing contact with the northern realm of Kraka Drak, which the southern dwarves had thought was destroyed by Chaos long ago. And which was promptly actually destroyed by Chaos shortly afterwards, which always seemed like a waste of story potential. Then again, Warhammer Fantasy is basically waste of story potential: the franchise, what with the whole end times thing. If people like dwarves, I highly recommend the Divided Loyalties quest (CYOA, basically) at Sufficient Velocity. It's fanfic, of course, but it's very very good fanfic. The second main arc has the protagonist sign on to help Belagar's reconquest on Karak 8 Peaks, and it's fantastic. https://forums.sufficientvelocity.com/threads/warhammer-fantasy-divided-loyalties-an-advisors-quest.44838/

Finished my Isabella SFO campaign and started a new run as Tyrion. I think the mod does a pretty good job on capturing the silly elf fantasy - my armies are incredibly formidable but cost a ton and don’t replenish quickly. 80 turns in that hasn’t mattered a lot because I have a line of Lothern Spear Guard with 90+ MD, but it’s been fun to take my 1100ish elves into a hug box against 4000 orcs, each unit fighting multiple units of the enemy, and come out the other side taking like 50 casualties. My economy is finally starting to really explode so it’s time to cleanse the dark elves. Tyrion himself is a very solid lord and fun to charge around with some Silver Helms. And his unique skills/techs set him up for two very different playthroughs. Good stuff so far imo.

Khalida, Luthor Harkon, Noctilus, and Eltharion added as new LLs, while N'kari, Ku'gath and Sigvald all got new starting positions to make Norsca a little less crowded. I wonder how much Robie plans to expand further -- Darklands are a pretty obvious next step considering the current bounds of the map, but idk if I want him to push further south and east of that. Wouldn't mind adding some of the Chaos Wastes though, if only to include those gorgeous battle maps
