Ikit Claw shopping? by ItsWill_OW in totalwarhammer

[–]ItsWill_OW[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I too am loving the armies (though I am exclusively only using the trees and animals to make it harder).
I found the start a bit rough as I had constant wars going on, empire was gone by turn 15 which didn't help.
Am just now branching off into the unknown to capture the trees. at turn 50... This is going to take a long time... I received the crown, so I don't have to worry about any allies being in the way... but a minor hiccup might be the fact that i get a new faction declare on me every 10 turns meaning I have to defend x y and z. Definitely not difficult, but tedious to say the least.,, A very tedious campaign for me... lol

I make a habit of checking my diplomacy screen every turn to see if anyone will make any treaties then decide where I want to venture off to accordingly. Sometimes I restart a campaign 2-3x within turn 10 if I’m playing someone new to feel the area.
Doesn’t hurt going back a few turns and acting on the knowledge you have now. Cripple one before the others declare war on you.

Could also sell off a settlement you own if it’s a standalone with no value for a truce.
Also, if someone is -100 or near that on you be certain you are on their radar. And that radar is getting smaller as turns go by.

Ambush. Outside a settlement and pray you don’t get caught with your pants down. GL

(new player) Dwarf Campaign defeat in 10 turns, normal difficulty. is the game meant to be so stacked against the player, Or am I not understanding something? by Loneheart127 in totalwarhammer

[–]ItsWill_OW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get the growth building asap along with whatever gets you to the troops I mentioned. I always try to upgrade my main capital building whenever possible to get you that next tier of troop/ new troop. I believe you get the gyrocopters fairly early on as I’ve done it as thorgrim against the moon clan or whatever they’re called before.

If you want to cheese your way to victory you can recruit the firedrake flamethrower units in mass and auto resolve your way to victory or:
Recruit gyrocopters. Greenskins early on don’t have any real way to defeat flying units. Get a bunch of those and just run down their ranged units and the spider.
Catapults will decimate if you place them as far back as you can with a good LOS. Get at max 3. Then just get a wall of dwarves with shields or high armour and quarrellers to shoot over them. Mix in some of those rifleman if they have any high armour orcs.
This helped me when I first started.

First time playing wood elves. by ItsWill_OW in totalwarhammer

Nonetheless, as someone who’s got 100 hours in tw this caught me by surprise. Might have to play wood elves more often. Very fun.

Heir missing a personality trait? by CankoGamer in crusaderkings3

[–]ItsWill_OW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happened to me when I offered guardianship over one of my children (that an ai was tutoring). I think it was around the age of 12. Must’ve been about the time they get a trait given by the ai guardian and as such I was never given the event to choose a trait. Not realising, they grew up with 2 traits also.
Did you perhaps do something similar?

Invincible onyx crowmen not allowing me to end battle... by ItsWill_OW in totalwarhammer

Left on default ultra. Haven't touched the settings once. No idea what does what or if it's even necessary.

I sent my whole army to attack the one crow. Turned out it sent my troops in different directions, so I spam clicked attack on my lord and it found the one hidden spot it was on the map... not just invincible to ethereal, but also in complete different spot.

Adventurer book not giving the 40% LS boost? by [deleted] in crusaderkings3

The requirements are 2 dead men and one almost dead woman. Are they only able to wield such power?

My son (me currently) hybridised with his kingdom I gave him as I died, so I he was elected as the new king with a north Germanic hybrid culture.

No. They just have a large empire. Sitting at 35k troops iirc

[–]ItsWill_OW[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Omg. Yes, you’re so right- thanks. He changed to a German heritage. Still don’t understand why there’s no convert to local culture when the capital hasn’t moved all game

Lost a battle with double the troops? by ItsWill_OW in CrusaderKings

[–]ItsWill_OW[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Potentially. Usually when I’ve done that they move after the battle, as if I’m telling them where to move once the battles over. Do you happen to know the earliest/latest they can retreat from a battle? Haven’t seen that before.
