What's the best way to deal with bats swarming your artillery as empire? Crossbows or melee?

genericnick posted:I don't get it. You can produce all units in Reikland. You just need a second province for warrior priests. I thought that, but with the relatively slower growth of a two settlement province and no warrior priests to speed it up getting to witch hunters takes a million years. And dealing with the corruption and public order penalties of northern tribes you'll never catch wandering around your provinces until you have witch hunters to slow them down is loving terrible.

I was concerned about how strong I was letting Nordland, Middenland, and Ostland get north of the Reik when they made friends and ate Kislev in my current Empire game. I was busy hammering out the orks in the mountains, making friends with the dwarves, building my economy, and letting the Vampire Counts soften the other provinces to make them ripe for confederating. Then Archaon came calling on turn 110 as I had wiped the Vampires out except for ol' Manny in his castle and I was glad for the buffer up north. That's my story, thanks for reading

Most of the time the growth buildings also increase casualty replenishment in the province as well.

Surprise Giraffe posted:Glad we get beastmen but why the gently caress aren't the releasing brettonia too? It's pretty much there already Hopefully because they're doing Brettonia in a way that puts them into the grand campaign map, rather than a mini campaign like the beastmen seem to be (if I'm reading things right).

Chomp8645 posted:Yeah they gotta be real careful integrating Bretonnia into the grand campaign. Can't just put em anywhere you know! Gotta be set up properly. Still a lot of work to do getting the grand campaign prepared for a Bretonnian presence on the map. As far as making the troop trees more fully fleshed out and unique, I'd hope that there would be. They're serviceable as it is, but look at the amount of love they gave to designing the Beastmen. John Charity Spring posted:Beastmen are in the Grand Campaign too. Will they be playable in the Grand Campaign, or nuisance like the savage orc tribes?

I am legit excited for the shootiest Dark Elf army and a Skaven army that spends 70% Of the battle broken, 15% coming back to the front, and only 15% actually fighting anything but still manages to win.

DeathSandwich posted:The buffs and penalties from the full moon events are semi random. Sometimes you get 10% replenishment, sometimes you get 100% If you look at enough of them in a row, I wonder if they would be cyclical, to reflect phases of the moon? That would be a nice touch. So 10, 50, 100, 50, 10 repeating or something.

Dwarves being high leadership and armored everything with great artillery and ranged units is probably going to be rough for Beastmen. Have fun! What do you guys recommend for army comps with Chaos in the grand campaign? I'm around turn 50 and I've got Kholek, Sigvald and a death wizard leading full stacks, the north is fully subjugated and awakened, and I'm ready to recruit Arachaon in a few more turns. Everyone is running around with big piles of chaos warriors or chosen (and Kholek can recruit like 9 loving units every turn, holy poo poo), but I kind of miss my poison dogs and throwing axes. What are your go to mid-game army comps?

madmac posted:After the second patch AI agents don't even try to assassinate you anymore unless you've got your own lone agents hanging around, they just spam assault unit for negligible damage every turn (It got nerfed hard) until they gently caress up and kill themselves. Block Army is also rarely used and I haven't seen them attempt destroy building in ages. I don't know about that. My dwarf campaign just came to a screeching halt when a swarm of banshees assassinated the lords for all 5 of my armies in a single turn.

I wonder if they'll make Free Company recruitable with no recruitment buildings. Hybrid troops that aren't good at anything, but can recruited anywhere at any time for cheap and can vanguard deploy seems like something that's kind of balanced. It give the Empire something to do when they have no recruitment buildings, at least.

I haven't played as Empire since before Beastmen, and the Empire start is a loving nightmare now. I just had two different games collapse by turn 20, both with 2 stacks of skull takerz and two beastmen warherds razing the Reikland to the ground. The second one Marienburg declared war when all I had left was nearly dead Volkmar in Eilhardt, killed him and claimed the town. What the gently caress.

Pendent posted:Does vanguard deployment get more interesting? As it is right now I can only place units between the two deployment zones and sometimes in the rear corners of the map on the enemy side. Neither feels particularly interesting It isn't always useful. Sometimes you'll have terrain features like hills or forests that will naturally impact army movement, and you can screen your vanguard deployed troops behind them for some devastating rear charges. Or send them after the artillery once the enemy main line is far enough away to let them get to it.

Kaza42 posted:My current Empire campaign is easily the most fun I've had fighting the Vampires. I decided to focus on conquering Bretonnia first this time through, starting as Gelt because I love suffering I guess. When Gelt was mid way through Bretonnia, I had the chance to confederate Stirland. Wanting to unlock Franz, I did so and was almost immediately attacked by the Vampires. Stirland only had two capitals left: Wurtbad and Averheim. Averheim is seiged when its garrison is half strength and the paltry third-stack that Stirland left me is stationed there. I immediately start raising an army with Franz, as Gelt was far too distant to help against the Vampires and I needed the money from the Bretonnian ports. When Franz's stack is half full, Averheim is assaulted by Vlad and Kemmler. Together they brought about 6000 mostly-chaff units against my 2000. Averheim fell, but not before inflicting massive losses on the Vampires, reducing their 6000 strong force to less than 1000. Their advance wasn't halted, but rather stalled for a few turns while they replenished their numbers from the dead. Meanwhile, Schwarzhafen attacked Wurtbad with a single stack, but was defeated by the now-bolstered garrison. Easily my favorite part of this game are my own little mini-fanfics about the Old World my campaigns generate. Thanks for sharing.

DeathSandwich posted:Have they said anything about how the Great Green Prophet is going to play vs a standard greenskin campaign? I assume he's going to be to Savage Orcs what Volkmar is to Flagellants insofar as he'll have campaing and level up bonuses that heavily benefit using savage orcs in mass. Will he be able to recruit savage orcs from any territory or will he have to use global recruitment when he's outside of his starting region? Speaking of flagellants, is there any way to make them really useful in the campaign? They made mediocre second line infantry reinforcements, but I can't really find a niche outside of that.

The Gotrek and Felix novels were definitely a guilty pleasure for me. They've fought with and against basically every faction in the old world, I'd like to see them as something like a Hero unit that any of the "good" factions can recruit like a regiment of renown or something.

What do you guys do about enemy agents as dwarfs? The vampire and orc agents just buzz around my armies like a could of flies, and every turn starts with at least half a dozen messages about agent actions. Around turn 50 I lost all of my Lords to assassinations at the start of the turn, broke the bank hiring in first level lords for their armies, then had those lords die to new agent actions the next turn. I kind of feel like maybe the agent metagame of the campaign map is some serious bullshit.

Is there a good effortpost on what to do with Wood Elves in the grand campaign? I thought I remembered someone mentioning conquering the forest by force early by using ambushes at the Oak map. I tried that, and the first other wood elf faction came with two full stacks of high tier troops on turn 12 to my stack of eternal guard without shields and glade guard. rip me. I reloaded and just looked at all of the other wood elf armies in play and they all have poo poo from the last couple of tiers of buildings in their armies on turn 12. On normal. I don't think this is going to work out.

When the second level oak of ages indicates it needs 5 amber to upgrade, does that mean I just need 5 amber total, or 5 amber to spend on it? Also, what should I prioritize building for King's Glade? I feel like I need the Grape Vines for the 800 income or I can't field a full stack, but I also want to rush for EG/Shields. I've beat every other campaign and had fun doing it, but I can not even begin to figure out what to do with the first dozen turns on Wood Elves.

drat Dirty Ape posted:Started up a few Skarsnik GCs and I agree, it is not quite right how quickly the wood elves confederate with each other. I was ~12 turns in and they were #1 and had all allied with each other in the span of like 3 turns. I like a challenge, but I feel that if they remain as-is the wood elves will dominate the west 9/10 times, which is kind of boring. They aren't at war with me and I'm doing fine, but I've noticed the same thing happen early in a lot of GCs lately. They are missing a natural barrier/enemy (the beastmen are a really slight annoyance, and they seem to attack the empire more than the wood elves anyway). For most factions cheating at public order, income, and confederation is the only way they can actually stay in the game. Especially against the player. But for wood elves that all seems to go a little overboard.

I've never really tried a VC campaign, so I started one. What's with Templehof running around with 4 half stacks on turn 3? How do you deal with the sheer number of troops when you don't have much better than skeletons?
