[quote="“Kainser”" post="“476813038”"] It seems really strong honestly, if they manage to touch a caster or other squishy unit then they are just gone. Or you can use it to lock down the enemy lord while you bring in anti-large or whatever to kill them (assuming it works on lords). [/quote] I'm thinking trapping cav in with spears, being unable to disengage would be cruel as gently caress

If you're struggling with Skaven the answer is "Build more armies full of trash units and go raiding" They cost basically nothing, give a good amount of food and you can use them to bulk up your main force too at a pinch. You don't have to worry about a rout because trash units don't gently caress with the morale of actually good stuff.

It's easy to miss but the skinks on the Bastiladon also throw poisoned spears which is actually a nice bonus. if you don't want it in melee at least get it close so it can do that

DeathSandwich posted:So how's the Morathi start? Is she like Mazdamundi and Teclis and aimed towards being an obnoxiously powerful caster that's still (eventually) useful in melee, or is she more like Malekith in that she's a melee rip-and-tear-er that just happens to be able to cast spells? She's like Teclis with a real amazingly bullshit final move, a vortex that doesn't move that makes sieges a cakewalk.

Away all Goats posted:Can someone explain to me what exactly rituals do? Should I be funding intervention armies? Should I be worried someone is past the 2nd 'tier' and I just reached the 1st one? Rituals give you a nice cut-scene when they're completed. Do all of them to know the whole story for your faction and win the campaign. Intervention Armies are very hit and miss. Fund them if you got spare cash, don't expect much but sometimes they'll gently caress up half a continent before burning out. Don't worry at all about the progress of the other races. If they get to the end you get an easy battle to stop them. Though it might indicate they're a pretty juicy target for raiding.

Fellblade posted:I payed skaven first, did I ruin the rest of the factions? Playing dark elves now and my line infantry die faster than clan rats, my magic is worse, my artillery is worse, ranged might be a bit better but eh. If by "Bit better" you mean "Easily the best ranged units in the game" then yes, Dark Elves are a bit better. Seriously Shades loving murder the poo poo out of anything armour or not and they're pretty good in melee too. They're monsters.

Comstar posted:Q- What are the different dinosaur superheavy cavalry for? Why would you choose one over another? I don't know what a revivification crystal is actually for, and they all seem to be able kill things by just walking over everything. Bastiladons carry seige weapons or act as cheap monsters if you can't afford anything fancy. The Revivification crystal is a big healing battery. The Laser Beam blinds enemies and is good for pot shotting enemy range because they'll have a 40% chance to miss all their shots when hit by it. Stegadons gently caress up infantry and have an insane charge bonus that can have them happily plough the gently caress through nearly anything. Their Bolt Thrower Siege weapon is good for sniping enemy monsters. Carnosaur's are your anti-large monster. Incredibly fast they got the speed to go gently caress up Cavalry or take on other Monsters no problem.

Slingers and Gutter Runner Skirmishers early game, eventually replaced with Globadiers, Poison Runners and Artillery. Stormvermin are nice but pricy, really your melee core can just be clanrats with a few specialist units as itsreally not important beyond a chunky speed bump to let your sick Artillery and Ranged do all the work

Slingers are your low level solution, what they lack in damage they make up in volume. Night runner skirmishers can also just get in a position to hit them where their shields are no use. The sooner you can get Globadiers and Artillery the better though.

The amount of kills needed is about half the enemy force. If you’re fighting well enough that you rout then without many casualties of your own it likely won’t proc. But you also didn’t really need it anyway so that’s no big deal. It’s easier to proc against Lizards as they like to stay and die and generally field smaller armies if they haven’t bulked up with Skinks. Skaven are the hardest as they love to run early and there’s loving thousands of them. Use Dark riders to run down retreating troops and you’ll get it much easier, not to mention it’s kinda what they’re good at anyway
