Spearmen, miners, and shieldless eternal guard are all really cheap, really lovely units that serve the same function but with a bit more cost. Think of them as elite cannon fodder.

^ Will probably have DE warriors with swords and no shields as the base shittiest unit then, I think to add a spear +1 points.

Really the downside of them was when going full auto at range you had like -2 to you Dex so accuracy was iffy. But then again you were shooting 40 bolts.

I feel like i have to keep repeating this: Dark Elves are clad in full platemail, they will have good armour, the same is true for high elves. I know in TT they had "poor" armour but CA won't translate that part over. Low HP and low unit counts will be the deciding factor for balancing.

I really don't know how well CA has translated the table top to this game when it comes to armor, but I can only think of Blackguard and then executioners (When they buffed them) as getting actual armor. Warriors have light armor and everyone else has none or light armor with some gimmicky stuff like cloaks or w/e that act as armor. I also haven't paid attention to warhammer rules since before they release this sigmar stuff.

I always liked the idea that Malekith was the legitimate king, but everything he's done since getting screwed out of it has proven the guys who screwed him over to have been completely right and that he's a spiteful little dick who should never rule anything.

Anyone used Cataph's Wizard Lord buffs? It seems like it just gives Gelt, Kemmler, et al a few free skillpoints so they actually start with some spells that you couldn't get at that level, ideally bringing them up to par with some of the later DLC caster lords, but I'm not sure. I'm not looking for a huge overhaul like his magic changes or something that makes caster lords overpowered, just something that makes them not utter trash. I haven't played since the most recent patch which supposedly buffed them as well so I don't even know if it is necessary. Also looking for any other high-quality mods. I'd love to use a huge map pack, but apparently the quality varies greatly and Dwarf/Greenskin cities lost their walls. If there are any standout maps that I need to include, I'd love reccs on them too. I played a full Empire long campaign (and several other factions) at launch but am looking to give them another go now that all the DLC has probably changed their start quite a bit, so Empire-focused mods I should use would be cool too. Thanks! e: Or Cataph's other packs, like his "more lord types"? Ravenfood fucked around with this message at 22:17 on Mar 28, 2017 |

When you guys do an empire campaign, when do you take Marienburg? It was always on my list of "I need to take this drat city for its sweet cash monies" but come the time chaos hits the field I still havent gotten around to taking it. Vampires were being way to aggressive and I had to take care of them.

I haven't played since the most recent patch which supposedly buffed them as well so I don't even know if it is necessary. For wizard lord buffs, I have a mod called "Legendary Wizard Lords" that adds some unique skills to Gelt and Kemmler. I'm not a big fan of Cataph's magic mod. Mostly that it changes the AoE values on spells so that none of them quite feel right, and it makes the fire skull way overpowered. I've tried out the ultimate minor settlement map pack, but ended up uninstalling it. The maps themselves are fine, but the AI has no idea how to handle them, so it will often defend a settlement by deploying everything in a thin line against one edge of the town. If the AI supported the maps, I'd like them a lot better, although the fact that they're so heavily forested makes it difficult to fight in sometimes. I'm mildly fond of the All Tabletop Lords pack. It's nothing spectacular, but adds in some neat variety to stuff. I like it best as Vampires, since it adds in the other bloodlines. I also quite like the mod to add Metal and Death wizards to the Empire as heroes. I don't even like those lores, but Empire should have all eight, dammit!

They've taken them and propped them up with mammoth tusks on the back of a Woolly Rhino, that pulls it on a chariot. I can't loving wait to see what size of cannonball/shrapnel it fires.

What's the go to strategy for being down some welves as the brets? Their war dancers have something insane like 65 melee attack and their archers just run away from my knights and pepper them with arrows until my guys say gently caress this and run away.

Go absolutely loving nuts with cavalry, especially Questing Knights. Wardancers melt when charged, so do archers. If it's not working, you don't have enough cavalry.

Having been the thread nay-sayer and Supreme Patriarch of the College of Complaining in regards to Gelt and his usefulness, I am eating my own words mixed in a big steaming pile of poo poo right now. The latest patch has indeed given magic in general enough of a nudge that Wizard Lords Are Good. Not great, but definitely good. Magic packs a bit more of a punch (but be mindful of your Unit Size setting, I stick to Large), and even Searing Doom is worth the Winds. They definitely are not going to be as easy of a start, but once you get over the hump, they hold their own if you build your armies and strategy around their benefits. It's more for a small twist on their faction's gameplay than anything, and is certainly a small handicap if you don't go out of your way for it. With Gelt, you want to make sure you have a healthy amount of line infantry since his +10 armour globally makes each and every State Troop out there a bit more worth the upkeep, and keep plenty of AP in his stack (esp. handgunners, artillery) as his personal +% AP passive makes his army the proverbial hot butter knife. For Kemmler, it's more that his Lores are very potent and still got buffed. His gimmick of course, you want to have plenty of expendable units like bats and dogs that you throw to disrupt and pin the parts of the army that you aren't grinding down, because -25% Raise Dead cost is only really helping you if you have the room for raising. On the plus side, even deaths on your side contribute to the quality of troops Raise Dead offers, so before long you can make some nifty Black Knights out of all those discarded Dire Wolf remains (somehow). With Azhag, youz just go, ya git!

Yeah, the magic changes last patch were really good overall. I'm using a lot of spells I didn't think much of before. If nothing else, I do think Kemmler benefits from Vlad being split off into another faction, since there's an argument for starting Kemmler again. Kemmler's starting army and campaign bonus is as good or better than Mannfred and Ghorst and they're both super-easy to unlock so it's not nearly as unthinkable as it was when it meant giving up Vlad. Gelt is just kinda solid now, his campaign bonus is easily the best out of the three Empire Lords and his spells are good now but his starting game is still rough and enemy lords are a huge pain until he gets a captain to help out. Azhag is still kinda crap starting out TBH, but the buffs to Death Magic are nice for him and the regiments of renown/skulkers do make it a lot easier to blitz for the crown. Malagor is another caster lord back from the grave, he always had a great skill tree but he's not weighed down by Lore of the Wild being poo poo anymore and he got some melee buffs on top so the itch to play another Beastman campaign with Malagor has been growing lately.
