I know Legend, but he did comment on his recent Tzeench livestream that WH3 was a flop, a lot of his viewers were watching Elden Ring streams at least until Immortal Empires comes out.

So uh how do I get rid of the negative traits my lord gets from hanging out in the realm of chaos?

It says "garrison the lord in a province capital or in a settlement with defensive structures". The Tzarina has been hanging around in Prague for four turns now, and Prague has the watchmen building that gives a +50% chance to lose chaos traits. She still has 'em.

Is Prague maybe not a "province capital" because it is a single city province? :confused:

It's still a dice roll, sometimes you'll indeed spend turns where nothing happens and sometimes you'll lose those traits very quickly. In the campaign I just finished I had Katarina hovering around Hellpit for most of the game, using the chaos rift nearby to complete the campaign - As Hellpit is the region capital she got had the traits removed as expected but subsequently did nothing else while Boris, Kostaltyn and a super beefed up Boyar ( who defended my North Eastern provinces from several Norse, Nurgle, Khorne and Skaven stacks ) did all the heavy lifting in keeping Kislev safe. By the time I collected the 4th soul Katarina had no time to remove negative traits before having to head off to the Forge of Souls to block Kugath and Nakari.

Well shoot, that's no good. Time to go into super-debt then.

Pro Tip - the turn before you win the supporter race, sell as much territory to Kostaltyn as you want / he has money to buy you're going get it all back next turn!

I was probably going to play Ikit followed by Franz, but I managed to rediscover some of GW's finest material.

So it's Grom the Paunch for me.

Played just over 20 turns of Grom last night. Started by bullying Quenelles, forgot that raiding camp took no movement and I could have been recruiting globally recruiting gobbos in one turn, Parravon weren't game to send down their stack though. Orion wardecced Parravon in short order while the Faye Enchantress decided to have a go at me ( love me her casualty replenishment bonus ). While I was bullying one of her minors all of the Wood Elves wardecced me and Orion bumrushed Massif Orcall so I had to deal with that, but now Ikit is my friend terrorising Faye. Called a Waaagh on Parravon, razed it in short order and now it's time to take my stack of buff gobbos and my waaagh army to raze Faye's capital.

Maybe because I started comparatively passive by sacking Quenelles and not building my army for a few turns but the AI weren't too shy in declaring war and sending armies my way. I'll miss not having Skarsnik nearby for an early confed though :(

It turns out if you take another settlement first, ie Tobaro, you can resettle Skavenblight to T4 )

So I think it's been pretty much established that if you want a more aggressive AI, play at Normal campaign difficulty ( GBoG in his You should try Kemmler video also mentioned that the AI that in Campaign hard and above the AI plays super conservatively but be aggressive at Normal ). I'm 79 odd turns in my Ikit campaign and after taking over Tilea, Estalia, The Vaults, Carcasonne and the River Brienne I'm getting my poo poo in the west pushed in by armies from the Donut ( Alistar repping Eataine, Allarielle with a couple stacks and the Batman from Yvresse ) and Durthu is bullying the Vaults with help from Balthasar Gelt.

I managed to fight off the helfs and burn down the forest, I'm down to 94 rivals so there's definitely been some action on the map. Queek, Throt and Skrolk are still hanging on but Tretch and Snikch are out. Franz doesn't seemed interested in bailing out Gelt and Louen is struggling with Kemmler so once I have a couple of stacks free it's time to pay the donut a visit. I have no idea what's going on either in the West or East but Nkari got pasted so I'm guessing the Elves just got bored. The Southlands thunderdome doesn't seem to have a clear victor but I don't think I need to dive in there.

The real strength of vampire coast early is the t2 mortars but since the AI is busy dodging stuff again it's not as strong as it used to be.

I found if I had around 4 mortars there was less loving about and more finding out.

Are there any infinite-ammo ranged unit? I can't think of any off the top of my head, but I've only played Slaaneshi chaos.

The Lore of Vampires passive is regenerating ammo, which is great if you're Noctilus and have Big Bess, free ammo every time you cast Nehek.

Are people really complaining that the AI might actually do a smart for once?

It really depends if the footage showing off the pre release 4.0 AI being borked is still actually a thing, or if CA have managed to unfuck it since the those videos came out last week.

Honestly so did I, didn't he have a big cry about not being acknowledged or something?

Eh, he's still been pumping out his disaster battles, he did a fairly extensive review series of all of the Legendary Lords in Immortal Empires around the launch of update 3.1.0 and he's still doing the occasional campaign livestream.

Colonel Damneders has a Shadows of Change review.

Just gotta point out he did this two months ago, his issue is that folks aren't submitting many decent Medieval 2 disaster campaigns for him to feature.

Also surprised to hear they want to update Skrolk because he wasn't feeling thematic enough, it felt like the most skaveny skaven thing possible out of any playthrough of any skaven when I kept the lizardmen alive with one city in lustria in a permanent state of being weakened by plague and just being used for a source of food.
Skrolk's plague focus was heavily depreciated the moment Kugath came onto the scene and seen by many as a missed opportunity.
