I can train level 11 mages in Saphery as Tyrion after uniting Ulthuan and confederating with Teclis. +7 from the White Tower, +2 from research and +2 from Teclis' unique item. If I had done it the other way around, they would be level 16! Can't wait to play with this in the ME campaign.

madmac posted:I can see what they were going for with Teclis. He's basically on another island on the flip-side of Lustria, so it's almost the same position, just closer to Ulthuan. Is a weak capital a problem long term, apart from having a slower start? If I conquer/confederate Lothern later, I can treat it as my de facto capital. Do you have any disadvantages from your lovely starting island? Trade wise it shouldn't matter, since you have a port anyway. Or am I missing something?

Teclis new start position is on a minor settlement in the region. Are there any other LLs that don't start at the provincial capital?

What does "Wood Elves can fully occupy Lothern" mean? Will Lothern work like a regular Athel Loren settlement for them? Coupled with their ability to construct a variant of the Everqueens court in Gaen Vale (sp?), Ulthuan may become an important target for Orion.

Panfilo posted:Some of the new buildings kind of offset it. Dwarves can get all their units at +1-5 veterancy and - 30% recruitment cost from gem, airfield, woodcutter iron mine and salt mine. I don't think any faction is beating Teclis in mage ranks. He gets +5 as his faction ability, his one legendary item allows mage recruitment everywhere and gives another +2 ranks, IIRC there's a technology for a further two ranks, meaning you can get rank 9 mages wherever you need them. Not to mention that you can recruit level 16 mages in Saphery eventually.

I really wanted to confederate Tyrion as Teclis, but I probably took too long in dealing with the Vampire Coast and the Skaven in Lustria. I raced to get as much of Ulthuan as possible once I noticed Lothern growing and growing, but I could only get about a third of it to Tyrion's two thirds. He's solidly number two in military power after me. I assume with 17 settlements he won't ever be willing to confederate with me?

Just got the Ruin Unrestrained trait with Mazdamundi. Is Teclis like the designated good guy in Warhammer? I'm not really familiar with the WH lore outside of playing the two TW games. Teclis only had his starting island by the way. The move really hosed him over, I'm almost sorry for him. But only almost, since his brother owns all of Ulthuan and is busy beating the poo poo out of Morathi at the moment.

Is there a list of all the special traits your lords and heroes can get as High Elves? I had a lot of fun putting one life mage with the talent that gave them +100 charge bonus on a horse, and later into a chariot.

Can somebody give me some pointers on the economy as Bretonia? Do I go full farms, full industry, or a mix of both without building the final buildings? I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do. The warning not to duplicate farms the gave gives out is just for the recruitment options, right? I will still get the gold?

Ardent Communist posted:As far as I can tell, you oughta build farms in your smaller towns, and industry in provincial capitals. Aren't most of their provinces two cities anyways? So if I build a industry building in the capital it won't reduce farm income in the minor settlement? Makes sense in a way, but I find the in-game documentation kinda unclear.

Huh, I have no RoRs as Bretonnia, are they tied to a specific DLC? Announcement is pretty cool. I'm really curious about those pirate coves, a really interesting addition to the game. Too bad they didn't do something similar for Skaven.

Qubee posted:Dropped 10 G's on an intervention army, seeing as the Elven city was half the world away and I wouldn't arrive even if I left immediately (10 turns just ain't enough, sometimes). Intervention army spawns, sieges for one turn, and then instantly dies the next with nothing to show for it. The AI is not especially great with Skaven. Additionally, Lizardmen are basically a hard counter to them, so it's not surprising that you have little losses against them. Wait until Dark Elves gently caress you up.

Ammanas posted:Chaos is unplayable in single player ME because of the change in resettlement. Somewhat true for wood elves as well. Its a shame, their unit roster is pretty dope. You can actually make a strong alliance with a dependable faction (Clan Angrund for example) and just get all of Athel Loren plus a port to open sea trade. Then just run around burning down enemy settlements. If need be, you can install the region trading mod and just gift your ally every settlement you conquer, it's worth the same amber. You can also try to get an overseas ally (Lizardmen?) and do the same with them, it's unlikely that allies separated by an ocean declare war on each other. And if you really want to, you can conquer Ulthuan for Lothern and Avelorn, which are fully functional settlements for Wood Elves. Not to mention that they generate a lot of money through their special buildings, and give nice other bonuses as well.

ChrisBTY posted:I once heard a rumor that it's all going to fit into a massive ubermap when TWWH3 comes out. Is there any basis to this rumor? Yes. Warhammer 2 has it's own map, which basically excludes the Old World (only not-Africa and a tiny part of not-Great Britain are part of the Vortex map). If you own Warhammer 1 as well, you can instead play the so called Mortal Empires map, which includes both the Old World and the New World. I think it's near certain that WH3 will work the same, with a unique map for their factions, and a combined map if you own all three games.

Not sure whether it's actually been extended south or if they're just replacing some of the desert. Is Heart of the Junge where the minor wood elf faction started in the Vortex campaign? I would love a third (or really, second) start position for them. Plus a third LL of course.

I'm not sure about Warhammer theology, but if you believe that your relatives rest in heaven and that reanimating them as undead disturbs their eternal rest (which generic fantasy peasant are wont to do), then you might be a little bit upset at seeing your mother become a mindless undead.

Gay Horney posted:why are they so reluctant to put old world generals in the new world?? Or vice versa. The pirate dark elf should have started between Norsca and tod bringer imo At least you can sail East to fight with the Tomb Kings. And your immediate neighbors are Teclis (ugh), Skaven (sigh), Lizardmen (groan) and vampirates (yay!). And few Norscans around. It's a more varied start than the other DE lords. Hellebron's and Alarielle's (and Alith Anar's) start positions are no different than the other DE or HE starts (Teclis excluded), they have it way worse.

Vampirates are a lot cooler than Dogs of War, and it makes sense to tie VC changes to this DLC. Yet I'm not sure that Vampire Counts really needed this overhaul right now, especially with the very sorry state of the Empire. Or the pretty lame Wood Elf experience. WEs still have a powerful roster, but they suffer from a core mechanic not working well with the climate system, plus they have relatively lame unique mechanics (council system for example).

juggalo baby coffin posted:are people tired of my speculation posts? i thought the cyborg dwarves would generate more discussion I like your lore posts. I'm not a tabletop player, so these posts are always interesting. My problem is that I don't really care about the Chaos factions at all. I'm pumped for Vampirates, but I didn't buy Norsca or Beastmen or Warriors of Chaos. I'll have to see what's in store for the other races in WH3 to make sure it's even worth buying if it will only bring 4 Chaos factions.

jokes posted:It is very impressive that they managed to make lizardmen backed up by dinosaurs backed up by dinosaurs with artillery on their back backed up by magical space frogs the most boring faction. Yeah, with all the old faction overhauls, I think Lizardmen deserve a bit of love, too. Skaven have the food mechanic, loyalty events and advanced ruin settling. Dark Elves have black arks, the slavery mechanic and also loyalty events. High Elves mostly have the influence events, and the tons and tons of unique buildings on Ulthuan, plus the in parts drastically different climate preferences of the four LLs. Dwarves got oathgold and crafting, VCs get the unique bloodlines, Tomb Kings and Norsca have their own mechanics, Vampirates get coves. Most of the WH2 races, especially the new ones, plus a fortunately growing list of WH1 races have cool unique features. Lizardmen have... the geomantic web, which is super lame. And blessed spawns I guess, which are mostly worse regiments of renown imho. They need some love, too. Not as much as the Empire of course, but they definitely need something more.

High Seas attrition means they're sitting ducks if they come for me, while I can send a huge stack around their coastline setting up dozens of coves. You've got so much good artillery and beasties that you never need to wait to bust up a city. I got the whole outer ring done while smashing anything they sent at my own cities. If the AI would use the Invocation of Isha, it wouldn't be so awesome anymore.

Elswyyr posted:I want to finally win a vortex campaign, and I also wanna play as high elves, because being a big economic powerhouse seems neat. I played 10 turns as each LL, and I now report back. Elf on Elf violence is a known problem (or not if you're a dawi fan I guess). But you don't need to engage in too much of it if you don't want to. Pick Tyrion, his opinion bonus with fellow high elves really helps. You only need to murder those high elves that are immediately hostile to you (Caledor first and foremost, if only for the waystone fragments.), peace out all the rest. Remember that doing Vortex rituals gives you an increasing opinion bonus with other members of your race. Combined with Tyrion's natural bonus, it's not that difficult to make most other high elves love you. Then just confederate them one after another. Keep yourself busy with killing dark elves on Ulthuan. And be proactive about the Vampirate threat, don't forget that the Norscans will come for you at some point, and consider sacking parts of Naggaroth if you have time. It's better to be relatively compact when doing Vortex rituals, so don't bother expanding outside of Ulthuan too much. Also, you can make mad cash through trading, consider letting some of the minor high elves live to serve as trading partners and meat shields.

I'm usually proactive and don't bother with Nagarythe at all until I've dealt with most of the surrounding Dark Elves. Conquer their poo poo to prevent them from getting too strong and also strengthen your position. Nagarythe can wait, it won't immediately help you too much anyways.
