Did they take out the option to have the campaign camera zoom in instead of only going up/down? I can't see it anywhere.

I encountered a dwarf rogue army with a few single model squig units. I expected some kind of monster but instead they were just single, 118hp normal sized. One died to eagle claw projectiles, the other decided to charge into a unit of rank 7 swordmasters... ...and exploded, killing 78 out of a 100 models of swordmasters.

New Butt Order posted:Skaven need to work like the pre-Warhammer games where your units will happily shoot each other in the back or put a volley of grapeshot straight through their commanding officer and turn him into salsa without even fuckin questioning the order. I miss the Teuton catapults from M2TW Kingdoms that shot exploding barrels that could go off in mid flight, potentially destroying the unit's other siege engine if shooting sideways.

The only Dark Elf who can't pass for a High Elf by wearing a dildo hat is Malekith and even he could pretend to be a Caledorian noble who got drunk and fell off his dragon mid-breath or something.

Shoot them with cannons. They can be staggered, cutting their rate of fire greatly. A $1600 cygor loses a gunnery duel against $800 great cannons.

Dwarfs finding out about that continental drift stuff would make an amusing wrinkle to the Age of Peace super end-game if you're not playing as them; all of dwarfkind automatically declares an non-negotiable war on every lizardman faction and gets a shield of civilization style trait that makes them willing to forgive every other kind of past transgression in exchange for joining their crusade against the cold bloods. Imagine playing as vampires and halfway through securing your southeast you get a message from thorgrim going >peace treaty >military access >military alliance >declare war on hexoatl, last defenders, itza etc and the adjoining voice quote is just incoherent shouts of rage. Of course, rejecting it makes them lump you in with the 'zards.

Grand Prize Winner posted:Hey, I bet this has been gone over before but can anyone recommend a good high elf army composition for the final vortex battle? I play on Normal difficulty and usually just use multiple stacks of low-level infantry/archers with a couple of bolt-throwers along for the ride but that doesn't seem to be answer for the last fight. lord loremaster eagle claw eagle claw phoenix guard phoenix guard dragon princes dragon princes swordmasters swordmasters swordmasters swordmasters swordmasters swordmasters swordmasters swordmasters armoured archers armoured archers armoured archers armoured archers but given how stupidly OP the vortex spell is, you can safely run with a lord and 19 seaboys.

Angry Lobster posted:Most of them are lost, but three of them are known: Neferata has one in the Silver Pinnacle, Zacharias the Eternal (of the Necrachs) has another one, and Mannfred Von Carstein has the last one. So, at least, this puts the Tomb Kings in a direct collision course with pretty much all Vampire factions.

I can't wait for the Norsca nerfs, I tried to have a go at Legendary Malekith, succeeding in taking out my skaven neighbours, that other dark elf faction I start at war with and even the Mung and their 4 stacks, called in by the latter, just in time to get attacked by the Aghol that have now eaten every single dark elf faction east of me and are 13 provinces large, bringing 8 stacks.

Tried a Khatep legendary campaign, sort of stabilized at 3 provinces(after losing my home to beastmen) until Malekith, Tretch, Mazdamundi and a beastmen horde that spawned behind my lines all declared war on me, breaking two non-aggression pacts in the process(I guess I could expect this from Tretch but what the gently caress you loving traitorous frog???). I think I'll have to drop the difficulty down to Very Hard.

Nash posted:What are peoples mid to late game Khalida stacks look like? Im usually rocking out with 7-8 archers, Khalida, lich priest, necrotect, and assorted ushtabi and snakes. I havent built any tier 4 units yet though. I ran with a command squad of a, a necrotect, a liche priest and some form of artillery or counter-artillery such as carrion, a light ranged section of 4 skeleton archers, a heavy cavalry group consisting of two of each sphinx, heavy ranged group consisting of greatbow ubshati and depending on whether it's meant to siege anything or not, a final heavy infantry block of ubshati or some tomb guard solely for climbing on walls Khalida's personal stack at the very end(after merging my entire allowance of super units into it) was herself, a necrotect, 10 greatbow ushabti and 4 of each type of sphinx to intercept the like 5 dudes that lived through two volleys of the archer doom blob, could have probably gone with 14 ushabti and 4 sphinx variants to the same effect and less strain on my big cat supply.

My first go at Wulfric I got most of norsca unified but collapsed when I got simultaneously attacked by Malekith, Hellebron, Louen, some empire count that ballooned up to 9 provinces and Kislev, mostly due to norscan lands being dirt poor and me only being able to afford 1½ stack of tier 1-3 troops.

Did the patch break elf confederations? I'm playing Alarielle and it's turn 51, I took out all the norscans in the north east corner and I'm now pushing into Hellebron's territory, every other elf faction has yellow levels of acceptance to being confederated the last 30 or so turns but nobody actually agrees to it.

A thought just occurred to me that large amounts of slayer casualties should probably provide a bonus to the dwarf faction that just fulfilled a whole bunch of slayer oaths at once, something like +leadership for local armies or +public order.

Also fliers are the only large units that go on walls so they're completely safe from the strongest anti large which is usually large itself like carnosaurs or necrosphinxes. Just watch out for brets who have flying anti large pegasi.

Anno posted:I always have a hard time convincing myself not to use that fabulous wealth to turtle up after uniting Sylvania and powering through my buildings. I probably need to just have a few lords around without an army and just raise one starting a few turns before they need to stab stuff. Option 1: build super tall stacking growth buildings, agent skills and all your money for dozens of turns to get Sylvania to the highest level of buildings. Option 2: suicide 2 stacks of zombies into Ungrim before taking him out with a real army.

What do people use for the final battle as Luthor? I brought a haunter, 8 depth guard, 8 handgunners, a cannon and Bess and I died 2/3rds of the way through because my handgunners could barely get a shot off with how much cavalry/dogs/large units run through/around my front line and put them in melee.

I swapped in a gunnery wight as a replacement for my mourngul haunter to help my gunline bring down things before they can get into melee, waited for harkon's personality to change over to the broadside spell one and brought over the anti-large RoR handgunner, this time I had enough firepower to deal with everything that sprints through my melee line in phase 2. When the final army arrived, they all repositioned right on top of each other where they spawned and I dumped all my off map artillery, vangheist's, luthor's dragon breath and a queen bess salvo on it, killing 600 of them before they managed to extricate themselves.

War elephants continued for a really long time, their use just evolved from stepping on people to logistics. The last recorded use of an elephant in battle is one from Baghdad zoo getting drafted into being a living artillery tractor in 1987.

AAAAA! Real Muenster posted:Hi, it's me, AAAAA! Real Muenster, still trundling through an Empire play through. It's turn 99 and I just got another event about Chaos Rising. I just spent maybe 15 turns clowning on the first Chaos army from the north...will new ones keep getting announced when I kill off the previous one? Do I just need to go conquer the North Pole or something? There's an initial set of armies that spawn with a cinematic, some reinforcements that get announced via event pop up when you kill off the last of the first group(way to be late to the party guys) and after a little while, the real invasion starts with the named characters leading it. Once those die, chaos stops being a thing outside Morathi/Beastmen/Rogue Armies(and of those, Vashnaar's Conquest is the only notably chaos-y one).
