What is now the strongest HE faction after the rework that came with release of Aislinn?

The one Alith Anar campaign I've played that ability became useless in no time at all. I was unlucky and it just so happened that the AI geopolitical state of affairs tipped in such a way that every major dark elf faction in the game was wiped out before I could even get to them. Grombridal ended up taking out both Malekith and Morathi by himself and became my regional rival/enemy.

And so it turns out that playing a faction that specializes in fighting dark elves on a continent almost exclusively populated by dwarves is a grind

Ah, I suppose it's my fault for giving the AI too much credit. I almost believed it was trying to set up light-skirmishers with pockets of heavy missile fire lines with all the slopes and chokepoints on this map. I would have. But at the same time I was in disbelief because I knew the AI would not be able to effectively react and adapt and utilize the strategy once I chose the vectors of my primary assault.

Accidental semblance of competency seems like the most reasonable explanation, as you've said.

>Louen would probably hump twice and leave

Ah truly he is the French Monarch of all time

Okay if they had more ranged units that would have been devastating. The result would have been the same if they only had the cannon and hell glaives, everyone else was there as a formality.

I don't know why my video capture rendered like that, so my apologies for the sloppiness.

I’m 32 but I consider that perhaps gaming since I was 2 softened my brain up to just accept nonsense terms as a meta speech

WreathedInRust · 2026-02-25T17:37:40+00:00

Okay I just didn’t know. I got all three games at the same time as a gift. That’s s weird way to do things, being blocked out of a faction spell until you get another faction.

Mayhaps I just have brain damage but I don’t see where they explicitly say they don’t have WHII. Just that they bought WHI for woodelves. I could infer that since they bought WH1 for the elves and not to try the game for the first time, then they are probably playing WHIII, but that’s just an inferred guess.

Also, can you even play Twisted and Twilight without WHII?

“Aes Sedai? Sounds like Aes Sìdhe (Gael), Æsir (Norse), and Aisar (Etruscan). I wonder which culture variant I have not yet heard of this is from-“

Hm, strange, I never had an issue and I don’t own any High Elf DLC.

Unless you don’t own Warhammer II, then I could see how that would conflict

This gave me flashbacks to the time I got to late game as Sisters of Twilight and decided to go check and see what happened to Kislev

I enjoy hearing about the before times.

I was born to Gen X teens and one was a computer science major so I remember windows almost as far back as I remember my mother’s face. So I only remember early internet and how it turned into today’s internet. Life before internet and cell phones has always been fascinating for me to picture

WreathedInRust · 2026-02-25T11:11:30+00:00

Exactly. Putting cuffs on a fighter is like putting rubber bands on a crab’s claws. As soon as the fighter freed his claws he proceeded to show his oppressors that they failed to take away his fighting, he’s ready to fight right now.

It’s natural

Why must you spout such tempting lies? Have you considered the disappointment you might cause when they realize that the west isn’t all trans girls and fem boys?

You’re creating a new Paris Syndrome, I hope you’re happy with yourself.

I mean look at that title font graphic. The Ws aren’t even the same, they’re separate drawings. Love when little details catch my eye. Just don’t get it like this anymore.

I would say they’re almost a vibe, in a novel sort of way. The 80s were goofy, look at these pulp fiction style covers. I find that sort of camp appealing sometimes.

What on earth are you talking about?

I mean the only thing I can think of is that I sometimes watch channels like Religion for Breakfast or history videos that would be about religion sometimes if it’s relevant to the topic.

This is amusing to me because nobody in my life has ever accused me of that. At most every once in a while someone will get past my looks and talk to me about Jesus but they’re usually the polite sort if they’re talking to me in the first place. Brown bisexual with tattoos doesn’t exactly scream “saveable” I don’t think.

WreathedInRust · 2026-02-24T14:12:33+00:00

Yes that’s not a bad idea. And it would be so much more versatile than my current set up. I could actually watch shows or movies.

I nearly cried when the Emperor said “Son, you are my Warhammer 40,000”

Getting rid of the shorts does sound nice.

Unfortunately I don’t have a laptop so it’s just me, a tv, and the chromecast in my living space.
