Descar posted:How do I get influence with High elves? it's very hard to come by ... Nobles. Even better, nobles with Emollient. +1 public order all provinces +5 local province +5% income entertainment buildings in all provinces. I just sit 10 of them around various enemy settlements spamming "secure influence" It's about 60 of it a turn which pretty much fixed all my influence problems. Mages get Entrepreneur +3% Tax rate (factionwide) +30% income from all buildings (local province) Got 9 of those sitting in Tiranoc at the moment. 23k income from that single province. Thus are the High Elven influence and Economy problems sorted out. Loremasters are what go around with my armies. Loremasters with Medic can do a good job of making up for all your nobles being busy elsewhere.

Pierson posted:Every game I tell myself I won't gently caress up and forget about heroes and every single game I do, god damnit. Didn't Vampires in TW1 have this trick also? I'm not sure. The thing is that mages don't actually get anything as of themselves that allow for this. It's purely a result of the entrepreneur trait which costs 40 influence each time. Basically leveraging High Elven broken as poo poo traits for maximum bullshit. Staltran posted:Anyone else have some quests for LL items not start? In my Mazdamundi campaign I never got the quest for his second item, and I just started a Malekith campaign and his first quest didn't start (though the advisor still started talking about it). Tyrions armour quest never fired for me.

Mazz posted:Also it's a shame that units have to be attached to lords so strictly or adding naval units doesn't seem like it would be very hard. Most of the basic stuff is there, but the rules keeping them on the ocean would probably be a lot of work because you'd have to make some kind of black ark style lord to spawn them with every time. Gonna look into it and see if there's any way to sneak something in. Would seem that the best method would be to take the Black Arks themselves as the basis. A flagship, if you will.

JBP posted:I payed some Teclis and was kind of keen to start on high elf home turf with a fighter since I've just done Mazda as my LL, but that makes sense. Dark Elf vs High Elf has to be some of the most boring poo poo. Campaign wise anyway, MP i hear is more a poo poo show. Kinda devolves into "who can bring the most ranged in a stack" Granted you can bring more melee but there's very little reason to when a stack of Seaguard and Bolt throwers very much gets the job done.

Yukitsu posted:If you want diversity, probably Eltharion the Grim as a caster/melee with a griffon option and then Prince Imrik for a LL that can actually use a bloody dragon instead of a horse like the twins. Benefit of Eltharion is there's good arguments to be had for having him off in Naggarond or the Badlands instead of Yvresse. Allariele is kind of locked down to Avelorn while Anar you can finagle Naggarythe or Naggarond.

Mazz posted:Getting the tier 4 slave market in minors is a big plus to DE economics, but that's just the way it is. It was mostly the same for Dwarves getting tier 4 industry buildings everywhere. By the time Naggarond has that kind of slave income you are probably winning your game handily anyway, since you have to beat up basically everyone in the North to get the 15000 slaves it will take to fill Naggarond(7000)+2 tier 4(4000 each). And thats with just Naggarond receiving slaves. Ohhh, i don't think it's a problem. I mean, it's vs the AI. Once your on multiple tier 4 minor settlements you've basically stabilised and it's just seeing out the game. I just find the results funny, this isn't even using agents or actually really optimising. I may need to check to see just how far i could get it actually. Maybe with Tiranoc or something. Interestingly seems that the public order bonuses can flip. Naggarond's actually gaining public order for having so many slaves and they never decrease. I don't think they're increasing though, tricky to check.

sassassin posted:I still think you get far better bang for your buck with a mixed force of basic spearmen and archers, a couple units of white lions, some reavers and three eagles. What I'll tend to do is swap out the spearmen for seaguard. White Lions don't see much use because... who am i fighting where i need that much AP? Early High/Dark Elves isn't it... nor is early Undead/Lizardmen. Maybe if you get into a fight with dwarves but that's kind of an outlier. Rather have the rain of arrows. Reavers are some nice cavalry though. Blinks77 fucked around with this message at 03:11 on Dec 3, 2017 |

If i'm fighting those, i have Swordmasters. Who do the job better. I mean, that is what White Lions should be for. Mulching monsters and heavy infantry while the Sword Masters buzz saw though chaff and the like but... it's not.

sassassin posted:Okay but they're an expensive tier 4 choice and I was proposing a bang for your buck all-comers composition. But they're a tier 4 choice you're likely going to get anyway and the upkeep cost is unpleasant but Swordmasters are just so much better than white lions it's far and away worth it. The problem white lions have is that they're only really viable vs sword masters early game. Except early game every gold piece is precious never mind every building slot. White Lions are essentially worse Sword Masters, their only benefit being that they come a tier earlier. Except they have a specialist building they need which has no other bonuses in of itself except +1 untainted and allowing the recruitment of eagles. So that's essentially 5k gold that i could have found much better uses for elsewhere. Sword Masters by comparison come from mage towers. You're going to have a mage tower. Unlocking Sword Masters also unlocks LoreMasters. Lore masters are awesome. Tactically sword masters are better. This cannot be argued and they should be anyway. Problem is i'd argue that SM's are better from a strategic point of view as well.

If you're doing co-op with Bretonia and your empire. let them take Marienburg. They'll get way more out of it economically than the Empire does. Firstly because Bret economy is pretty lovely to start off with and the port is a god send. Secondly because they can park Trident boy on top of it for a massive bonus.

Kestral posted:People who play Dwarfs on VH, how do you play out your early game now that Greenskins are a serious threat again? Do you just write off Pillars and Squighorn as lost causes once the Waaghs start showing up? Is it worth (or even possible) rushing up to Gunbad for the income? In general, what moves are you making to get a foothold and not get plowed under by the green tide? You should have the entire Silver road within 3 Turns or so? 2 Maybe? Gunbad is a trap. Start aiming south. The Green tide will come, so best you get down there and start killing them soon as you can. The less they can build up and snowball the less you'll have to deal with. Diplomacy is important. Do not get into some war with Barak Var and/or the Ungri. Be ready to pull back. Investment wise i build a farm in Pillar and Squig anything else is very much an eyeball job. Of the two Pillars is the one i'd upgrade first as you can more easily reinforce from Karaz.

Fangz posted:I don't really know why people have so much trouble with marauder horsemen. They simply melt under any sort of missile fire. They tend to be more of a complaint from those playing the chaos faction which is rather lacking in missile fire. Strategically the issue is more one of "where the gently caress did they get all those stacks from a single minor settlement in a loving snowy wasteland" Which may well be a direct quote from me during a game.
