SLAMBO is a chaos warrior not a demon prince, I can't believe this thread's title is not lore accurate.

Blooming Brilliant posted:I'm biased in that I collect them, but a playable Sons of Behemat army (for people unaware it is a literal army of giants) would be amazing I want to see how they even make that work. Like do you make their max army size less that 20? Good luck on coming up with an army roster.

Caidin posted:I don't really understand the reverse chronological order thing. So are they are saying the squabble for Ursun is first, followed by big rats big plan, then the largely plotless original campaign? It does make some of the plot hooks at the end of certain campaigns seem pretty pointless.

Giving all the demon factions the same mortal units would be incredibly lame and disappointing.

Dramicus posted:I'm sure they will get a great rework, but just having the allied outpost system for Norsca will almost make them a new faction on it's own. Being able to get friendly with Demon factions and recruit demons would totally change the way they play. It was never the units that were the problem with Norsca, it was the campaign mechanics that were a pain to interact with.

Gamerofthegame posted:How do you manage Kislev's devotion minigame? Your opponent ticks up overtime but you can only get points while the invocation is running, which needs devotion, and you're losing both in the early game because you're fighting kislevites You just build a church in every settlement. I lost the first race to 50, but after that I blew past the other faction.

The absolute worst part of the campaign is these stupid traits you get for going into Chaos. They take forever to remove and just keep your Legendary Lord out of action even longer.

So with Kairos is it kind of a trap to expand into Cathay too fast? I went in and took out Miao Ying because she only had her original settlement, but most of the stuff around is yellow or red terrain so I’m worried I’m going to ruin my economy or at least take forever to get higher tier buildings. Also boy is this Tzeentch replenishment bad. I never want to autoresolve because it takes way to long to get back to full strength.

Something I've always wondered is if allying with a faction turns off some of their AI bonuses or makes the AI dumb. As Tzeentch I allied with the main Nurgle and Korne factions and they seem absolutely worthless. They are running randomly around with half stacks while Kislev is attacking them with like five stacks.

I’ve discovered the secret to Kairos is to just hold on long enough for the Kurgen to start spawning half way decent stacks. Their constant pressure on Cathay have allowed me to sweep across the land. Also I unlocked the free teleport stance tech and now god help any enemy army that gets close to me.

The Chad Jihad posted:Yeah dont worry about the kislev rivalry as katarina, just slap a supporter building in each minor settlement, its good for devotion and order anyways. Kos (or some say, Kostaltyn) has an initial lead but unless he balls out hard he'll be plateaued on supporter income pretty quickly Honestly I wish when you got 600 supporters it didn’t automatically confederate Kostaltyn. He was a great buffer against the demons.

I'm so excited for some crazy person to mod the caravan stuff into its own roguelike game. If I could just have the game give me random troops and fight random battles I would be in heaven.

The Chad Jihad posted:Heros can cheaply and easily wipe out the portals before any armies spawn Yeah, they made it pretty easy to increase your hero amount from tier 3 building in minor settlements so I just build one of those in every province. Also I’ve never really played these games past turn 100 often so it’s not like any AI is going to force me to lose my campaign if I ignore going for the souls.

I just save scummed to find the right portals to take. I was playing as Kairos so it felt like something Tzeentch would approve of.

Lt. Lizard posted:I mean it just shows how different are the tastes of people playing the game. For me, Mortal Empires was ignored afterthought of a game mode, while the various Vortex campaigns were the meat of the game I spent like 95% of time in. I have still not finished a single Mortal Empire campaign, despite being pretty much done with WH2, while completing something like 12 Vortex campaigns. No one “finishes” a Mortal Empires campaign they just play until it gets boring. Outside of using mods to change them the victory conditions are mostly nonsense.

Azran posted:It's very peculiar. I know you can't access DLC content through outposts but Norsca has mammoths and skin wolves so I have no idea what's the problem there. Must have to do with the rework. They need to have built the buildings to recruit the units in the settlement where your outpost is.

It wouldn’t work with how the chaos realms are on the map itself or with having to deal with other factions trying at the same time, but if they had made it so that turns stopped once you entered a chaos realm and it became it’s own mini campaign it would be a lot more tolerable to deal with.

Broken Cog posted:How am I supposed to reach 50 supporters before Kostaltyn as Katarin? He's rushing ahead, and I'm losing them because the first faction you have to fight are other Kislevites. You don’t really need to. Just build some churches and use devotion to steal supporters once he reaches 50. You should fly past him after that.

Also never forget that Ogres were originally intended to be paired up with the Halflings, assumingly in some sort of Master Blaster situation, as the ultimate chaos destroyers.

It’s kind of funny how in game three how much I balk at any physical resistance items I find because there is just so much magic damage being thrown around that they aren’t really useful unless you are only fighting humans and ogres.

Demons having to deal with habitability is funny for me to think about. I’m an eldritch creature from a realm of constant change that lies outside of time, but gently caress you if you think I’ll spend any time in this hot sandy desert.

I can’t believe that is working as intended, but at the same time Tzeentch can get unlimited teleporting ambush stance which is probably on the same power level. Do Nurgle or Slaanesh have anything that is remotely equivalent?

The Chaos race would be fine if like in 2 you just had a final battle against anyone who got all of the souls and winning knocked them out of the competition.

I always just assumed the blood effects were developed alongside the game and they just used the DLC to unlock that feature for the user to get around ratings stuff, but the weirdly long delay in its release for 3 has made me question that.

Asehujiko posted:Do the Chorf wizards turn to stone as a result of them channeling the winds or does it happen automatically to any dwarf with magical aptitude? It’s kind of a chicken or egg thing. Chaos Dwarves can only use magic because of their god so we don’t know if it’s the magic turning them to stone or if they turn to stone from interacting with their god.

Ogres also get Leadbelcher cannons from them if they're not looting enemies or their employers. I assume the other chaos factions still hate them though because they worship the wrong god.
