Got a seed of rebirth and gave it to Karl Franz early in my empire campaign. The dude doesn't really need an army. All he needs is people to keep archers off him and he's golden

Arrgytehpirate posted:I bought this last night and my first game I lost my primary army on turn 6. As my friend put it I got "Grimgor'd." So anyone have dwarf tips? Use a big stack and autoresolve grimgor asap. Then just focus on knocking the fucker down

Yeah a big stack is 20 units When Grimmy attacks he usually doesn't bring 20, so your stack will be able to beat his in an autoresolve fight. From there you just keep the pressure on and smack the greenskins down as hard as possible, because otherwise they'll be a pain in the arse the entire game. The other orc tribes aren't half as bad.

If anything annoys me, its wonky line of sight. Occasionally i'll have battles where i can't see the enemy unless they're right on top of me. One of them was an underway battle i took a lot of artillery for, it was a bit silly

By turn 70 I had conquered the entire north, awakened pretty much every tribe (at least the ones I found) and subjugated both the varg and the skaeling. I'm currently hitting the empire, nordland, middenland and marienburg are wiped out. The empire is on its last legs, Hochland is about to fall, Kislev is down to just Kislev. Chaos was a lot easier than I thought.

I've played about 700 turns of this game (various campaigns so far) and the only campaign i've seen the beat the dwarves is when I was controlling them.

Man on VH+ my buds are getting their steam tanks online far quicker than you because they're prioritising that poo poo and sacking like crazy in wars their allies are fighting.

Rakthar posted:Altdorf has a port, so that's a slot. It also gets a unique building which is a requirement for Gent, that's also a slot. If you build the armory in the capital, and you have to if you want to upgrade it past level 1, that's a slot. If Altdorf is level 5, you have occupied 3 / 5 slots. If you want to build a menagerie for gryphons, that's a fourth slot. You can't build that anywhere that isn't the capital. And if you want a shrine to Sigmar level 3 because that was your only way to recruit warrior priests, then you have a problem. So yeah, you're prioritising different things and wondering why its taking so long to get all the later units. I didn't get cat mounts until after I had the tanks, I just chose to prioritise the tanks. Actually having to make a decision isn't bad game design Rakthar posted:I was the guy who posted that I make tons of growth buildings everywhere and they tie up slots and you explained to me that I should build less growth buildings and they wouldn't tie up my slots. Apparently I'm also the guy that needs to build more growth buildings, and then I'll have the growth I want. Hmm. Again, this is a choice. Short term boost (you can tear them down after!) or build a couple and focus your cash somewhere else. This is good gameplay in a strategy game! You should have to make interesting choices! dogstile fucked around with this message at 20:20 on Jun 17, 2016 |

Rakthar posted:Is it ok to want to be able to field both cat knights and Steam tanks in my Empire army, and at that point have semblance of an actual opponent to fling them at? Use custom battle then. You rarely have an actual opponent in the base campaign anyway if you want a legitimate gripe.

In fact, its better to use middenland, they get a better building for them! Rakthar posted:That pisses me off too! That's fine, but that's not the purpose of the campaign. The purpose of the campaign is to attempt to have you make tough choices and that does happen every now and then. Removing that completely runs against that. If you disagree fine, I probably can't convince you anyway.

Sekenr posted:And a bit of advice to new chaos players - kill norscans ASAP. They are absolute cunts and if they ask for peace it is a filthy lie, they only do it to colonize north and then send 3-4 stacks at you every turn. I got peace with the Skaelings and spent my time loving over the varg, after which i ended up wiping out the skaelings in three or so turns. Its certainly possible

I have to close Steam on the task manager to play every time. When I get this with a steam game it's always because the process is still running in the background. Just open task manager, head to processes and end the warhammer one

Don't overwhelm the whole line, overwhelm one part of it. Usually I have trash hold up their important units and smash the gently caress out of whatever killy units they have with the bosses. Usually i'll take an army with artillery to get the enemies to come to me and smash up whatever their high value units are on the way. Once they get close, I charge in and aim my boss straight at theirs, backed up by whatever truly killy poo poo I have. Everything else is ignored until that leadership aura is dead. Once it is, move you warboss into the flank and roll up the line.

Two things really, you can either run them around to the side and have them fire into the flanks/fire at units who run away, or you can have them facing any potential cav charge, so behind the lines on the flanks, facing outwards. Keep a unit in reserve and the can help em out if they get rushed.

Beastmen certainly make the empire more difficult to hold together. It's not so bad at first, then you're midway through a siege, the enemy reinforces, you break off the siege and then get ambushed during the breakaway by beastmen. I mean I won, but that siege isn't happening for a few more turns.

Honestly the amber wizard does so loving work just by overcasting his default buff. An entire line of men charging with an extra 22% weapon damage is a hell of a thing on its own. Can't wait to try the other spells.

Doctor Schnabel posted:Do vassalized awakened tribes ever rebuild the razed villages in their province? Yeah, in my last chaos game i've had three awakened tribes (including the first) take over the entire north, you just need to give them a push, build them up and once they get one, they'll start snowballing.
