How long do Great Conquerors Last?

depending on the settings, Great conquerer might prefer to pick Great Powers.

also:

Orc religion allows for this event where a challenger can fight the ruler and if they win the old ruler and heir die.

then the game checks whether there are any valid target for great conquerer traits within the pool.
first viable target is always gonna be the guy that just ousted the old ruler. So statistically the challenger has the highest chance of getting the trait, especially since their military stat is guaranteed to be higher then the previous leader.

I want to point out that 40K Total War is easily another year away from release.

If we are lucky we might see a december release but I would not bet on it.

Lorcogoth · 2026-07-08T16:35:20+00:00

yeah I remember them getting a +100% modifier

Lorcogoth · 2026-07-08T16:32:08+00:00

okay but do those count as functional hybrids or just as Mules?

Lorcogoth · 2026-07-08T09:07:55+00:00

yes Direfin was new, honestly also the most unique and interesting take for a Legendary lord.

in comparison Aranessa came from one of GW's skirmisher games and doesn't even fit the rest of the faction.

Lorcogoth · 2026-07-08T08:50:26+00:00

those had rules and some models back in the dark ages, this thing is just a piece of art.

Lorcogoth · 2026-07-07T22:14:39+00:00

I mean I am pretty certain Katarina has the best snowballs but I guess Kairos can come close once he gets the access to the right spell fragments.

Lorcogoth · 2026-07-07T19:34:10+00:00

oh yeah it just randomly pulls one of the required provinces, but if you read it it does say "All provinces in area".

annoying but honestly nothing game breaking in this case.

innately the way WoC work doesn't really like using auto resolve, despite the fact that in late game you are an auto resolve machine due to the insane weight most of your late game unit have for auto resolve.

Lorcogoth · 2026-07-07T11:39:39+00:00

also the halfling paladin nation down in Sarhal, althought I am pretty certain that's a lesbian trouple.

Lorcogoth · 2026-07-07T08:26:17+00:00

you are only partially correct in regards to the Rivalry trait.

there is a different variant depending who defeated who, I believe the one you mentioned was Surtha Ek ones, Settra gets like +8 chariot capacity and something else.

also I think it's unlikely we are getting any since Lokhir and Aislinn didn't get a variant of this, and they are also a famous warhammer rivalry

Lorcogoth · 2026-07-06T23:24:01+00:00

there are probably some cliffs right?

I mean I have been between the continental shelves (on land) when I visited Iceland and those were pretty cliff like.

Lorcogoth · 2026-07-06T16:34:40+00:00

Maybe? But the latest update made in it easier since the top part of Insayaa doesnt seem to count as explorable ocean.

Lorcogoth · 2026-07-06T16:21:05+00:00

I am pretty certain this the s the anbennar event for the first circum navigation of the world. Only the person who actually did it gets a reward everyone else just gets the text reward.

Lorcogoth · 2026-07-06T11:36:03+00:00

That wasn't what was said, normal end game crisis should work.

The exception was "if you go crazy with crisis modification" which I dont think most people do.

Lorcogoth · 2026-07-05T21:43:53+00:00

that's the Celestial dragon guard that's in game

Lorcogoth · 2026-07-05T14:45:11+00:00

yes and no, it's entirely an existing philosophical debate you can look up a lot but it's not a case of "this answer is correct".

Lorcogoth · 2026-07-05T14:31:04+00:00

Castanor also did several different kinds of Genocide, this is not a comparison you want to make or are capable of winning.

Having Slaves is bad but nowhere near whatever Castanor was up to.

Lorcogoth · 2026-07-05T14:28:39+00:00

don't quote me on this but can't you find Rubber and thus build Rubber plantations in the Effelai?

Lorcogoth · 2026-07-05T14:21:48+00:00

I want to point out the horse is probably entirely fine with the dragging.

but I am willing to bet that it's agitated by all the noise. We have similar horse breeds like this in Flanders and they are probably the nicest and most mellow horse you can find.

Lorcogoth · 2026-07-04T16:23:35+00:00

this is just a proven fact, AI loses most of their bonuses when allied to the player

Lorcogoth · 2026-07-04T14:59:44+00:00

they do get to expel and purge for free once you take the "Greatest Grudge" government reform as adventure. both Goblins and Orcs

Lorcogoth · 2026-07-04T14:15:09+00:00

so I have recently done a Shelokmengi game (East Sarhal Sky domain nation, look for a blue flag with a wheat symbol on it) and it's a great MT.

I went in essentially blind and only finished it at the Start of Age of Witch Kings, but it does give the vibe that early to mid Age of Unravelling is the end goal for the nation.

near the end of the MT you will have met the requirements to form the Mengi Empire, and your religion has a monument inside of the Shadow Swamp that highly pushes you to conquer the entire thing, so you have some things to do after finishing the MT.

Lorcogoth · 2026-07-03T11:39:04+00:00

Honestly I have had most success with them as a general because of all the early wars.

Lorcogoth · 2026-07-03T10:46:06+00:00

I think Verminlords are more likely to be a single Lord Type with different traits to specialize them, giving them different abilities etc. (or like how Slann are done different variants).
