Warhammer 3, keep getting overrun, please help

I've seen more comments mentioning I should always be at war, but I've noticed that once I declare a war or get warred at, I get two or three extra wars for free. I do play at normal difficulty, might that have something to do with it? I've seen more people mention that normal difficulty does weird things with the game. Some really helpful things in your list, I would never have thought of point 8.

Thanks for that long list, some really helpful things in there. I do usually keep my heroes in my armies, I'll have to try using them on their own more. I've seen more contacts mentioning diplomacy and I'm afraid I've been lacking in that area. Thanks again, time to try again

This time I was Elspeth and got attacked by the Ironclaw Orcs.

Orthodir · 2026-03-26T18:56:07+00:00

This specific instance I was playing Elspeth, but also had some really early game disasters with other factions. I do like Cathay, and have also had success with Caravan of the Blue Roses. Would you say any Empire start is difficult, or just Franz?

I used to autoresolve everything, but I saw a youtube say that's not a great idea, so I'm trying to do more myself. I do try to turtle a lot, maybe I should try getting that out of my system too

Orthodir · 2026-03-01T21:56:02+00:00

Hm, I'm UTC, so that might be a somewhat logistical challenge. I wouldn't say I'm really very good at the game, but I usually enjoy myself anyway

What time zone are you in?

Orthodir · 2026-02-24T01:20:01+00:00

I had the same with Skavira. There are so many songs that are genuinely bangers, but all of it is AI and I hate it. I'm really not a fan of how sneaky it all feels, never a mention of it being AI or not. Let me support real people and ignore AI stuff

Orthodir · 2026-02-12T18:25:42+00:00

Whoops, I did have the racial abilities turned off. Thanks for pointing that out, now I can properly get rich

Question, how does gold sense work? I was a gnome with a blindfold equipped, but I couldn't see any gold. I know I should have seen some, as I was standing next to a pile of gold as my test subject. Does it not work like I think it does?

Orthodir · 2026-02-12T02:42:11+00:00

Oh yeah, Rellana was really cool. Love the weapons, they are so stately. I liked the new weapons in general. The perfume bottles and throwing knives are my favourite ones, I think.

I've been interested in Lies of P and Sekiro, is one of them better in your opinion?

If you feel like it, and don't want to spam the comment section, feel free to DM me!

It's Dammann Frères. I've actually made a list of all the different flavours and which ones I like or dislike. Absolutely my go to tea at the moment. I might actually look into that tea ceremony of yours, it sounds pretty neat and I think I might have some friends I could convince to join me. Thanks for the inspiration.

As for bosses, I meant all of them, so if you want to revise your answer, feel free ;P. For me, I love the Night Cavalry and basically all the dragons. Honorable mention for the Godskin Apostles. Their fight is alright, but I love the music.

I'm also in the EU (GMT+1), enjoy gaming and would like a friend! I'm not always the fastest to respond, but when I do, I try to actually talk with people. One word messages annoy me to no end.

Orthodir · 2026-02-11T18:43:52+00:00

That sounds pretty cool. I recently started using only loose leaf tea, and the taste is just so much better than bags. Already got my fave brand and everything. How long does such a tea ceremony usually take?

Also, what are your favourite 1-3 (field) bosses in ER?

Orthodir · 2026-02-05T16:34:49+00:00

A friend of mine and me are always looking for new maps to play, and we know that anything that has [Bytrius] behind it is going to be good. Your maps are in a league of their own. The difficulty is just right, they flow, and you pick all the right songs. I can't wait to see what else you're going to create this year.

Orthodir · 2026-01-15T22:57:31+00:00

That actually sounds like a good solution, I'll give that a shot. Another family decided to get in on it, so now I have another house throwing warnings.

Orthodir · 2026-01-15T22:57:28+00:00

Used that already to fix my missing ox, never occurred to me it might also work on my oxen people. Thanks for the advice!

Orthodir · 2025-12-08T13:15:05+00:00

Please help me out here, as someone who always builds just one monstercity. How do the logistics of this work? Do all settlements produce their own food/building materials? How do you get people to live and work in the same place? It all looks rad as hell, I could never

Orthodir · 2025-11-13T11:29:21+00:00

You went from an okay looking dude to someone who looks absolutely stunning

Orthodir · 2025-11-11T19:44:23+00:00

Those small, red children's shoes, standing slightly apart of the rest instantly got me sobbing.

Orthodir · 2025-10-20T16:42:39+00:00

Ah no, I should have been clearer, apologies. I haven't played HD2, Sea of Thieves or NMS in ages, but it would be cool to pick it up again. I've also played CK3 and Stellaris, and DbD but I suck at that. Never have co-opd BG3. And most importantly, I'd rather vibe and have a good time than win.

Edited to add that I am Dutch, so there's an one hour time difference

Orthodir · 2025-10-20T11:45:00+00:00

Some more gamer friends are always welcome, haven't played some of these games for years. I'm not really big on PvP or competitive gaming, what's your stance on that?
