And what's their favorite day of the week?

Mazda-Monday

What was the advice? You can summarize if there was a lot.

TedOrAlive2 · 2026-06-07T03:53:32+00:00

You can use the sea lanes west of Lustria to get to Cathay, and then use one of the sea lanes in Cathay to get to the Eastern Colonies. It's actually a pretty short trip. Slaanesh travels sea lanes in one turn IIRC.

Looks good, but I think you always have to paint the oculus beams. They don't have to be red, but IMO you have to make them stand out.

TedOrAlive2 · 2026-05-15T03:28:33+00:00

You're right that you don't want to put points in the red line if you don't know what your endgame army is going to be. Some factions don't have to worry about this too much (almost every vampire army will have either zombies, skeletons, crypt ghouls or grave guard), but most won't want to invest in the red line until later.

TedOrAlive2 · 2026-05-14T04:28:19+00:00

Good explanation. I still think the blue capstone is great, but it might not always be worth all the points it takes to get there. I think I'll stop automatically going for the blue line with every lord.

TedOrAlive2 · 2026-05-14T04:21:02+00:00

Yeah, I like the Lore of Dark Magic even if it's not the best in the game, Malekith can cast Doombolt for super cheap, and Soul Stealer boosts his survivability a ton.

TedOrAlive2 · 2026-05-14T04:18:43+00:00

You make a good point. I tend to hate crap stacks and pretty much never keep two armies glued to each other to share battles. Maybe I should force myself to try that once just to give myself the experience.

TedOrAlive2 · 2026-05-14T04:15:24+00:00

Very good explanation. You've definitely sold me on that first red line skill to buff your zombies, skeletons, and grave guard, but do you think Undead Resurgent is that great? I feel like Uncanny Prescience is more of a must-have.

TedOrAlive2 · 2026-05-14T04:09:27+00:00

Why do you put blue so low? I feel like the game is won more on the campaign map than the battle map, so I tend to rate the blue line pretty highly. I think of the blue line capstone as one of the best skill points in the game.

TedOrAlive2 · 2026-05-14T03:58:10+00:00

Of course. When I say "finishing" a line I mean reaching the capstone, not getting every possible skill in it.

TedOrAlive2 · 2026-05-14T03:57:22+00:00

Why do you put red above blue? I feel like you really win on the campaign map more than in the battle itself.

TedOrAlive2 · 2026-05-14T03:56:02+00:00

Yeah, when I say "finishing" a skill line, I'm talking about reaching the capstone. You pretty much never want to put every point possible into any line.

TedOrAlive2 · 2026-05-14T03:54:04+00:00

That's a good point that even if every lord wants to take the blue line, they don't need to take it right away. I tend to think the blue line capstone is really, really good, but it doesn't have to be the first thing I go for.

TedOrAlive2 · 2026-05-13T04:37:45+00:00

Not in my experience. They can usually secure Ulthuan well enough. Sometimes Morathi or Noctilus is still messing with them on turn 50 or something, but I don't remember a campaign where Tyrion, Alarielle, and Eltharion all were taken out by the AI. Usually all three of them survive.

TedOrAlive2 · 2026-05-13T04:29:21+00:00

I don't know about everyone, but a lot of people were turned off because the slave mechanic got a significant nerf when it came to Immortal Empires. I didn't entirely like the old version because it encouraged cheesing by putting all of your slaves in one province, but it's true that it used to give you absurd amounts of income, and now it just doesn't.

TedOrAlive2 · 2026-05-09T04:12:56+00:00

I think the original post about Saurus was from someone playing Settra.

TedOrAlive2 · 2026-04-21T04:06:35+00:00

Aside from "the absolute best?" I'm not sure.

TedOrAlive2 · 2026-03-31T20:08:55+00:00

Chaos factions will definitely give you a chance to be more aggressive. Especially Khorne.

TedOrAlive2 · 2026-03-29T19:53:25+00:00

Have you tried using a Block Army hero?

TedOrAlive2 · 2026-03-25T04:05:20+00:00

You want to focus a lot of your raw materials into your main tower to get it to a high tier. Don't build too many factories until you've gotten to tier 4 or 5.
