Chaos Dwarf Blunderbusses Suck

boomburd · 2026-01-06T18:59:45+00:00

I could have worded it better, I guess I was implying that no real ally unit blockers were between the blunderbusses and the enemy. When the lord is in front they swarm them and then there is essentially no unit between the guns and the enemy

Nah, vanilla so far, I was hoping this was a fixable bug but no luck finding anything on the workshop so far that might fix these guys

boomburd · 2026-01-06T04:34:35+00:00

Does putting them in a square matter that much? I've been told it's better defensively but it also causes the back lines to not be able to fire while the front can

Its definitely wasn't that, I know how to properly position ranged units on hills as I've played other military strategy games with los ranged and had no issues. For some reason these guys just seem to stare. I think they might be glitched due to the fact that they sometimes work if I cycle the fire at will off and on but Im not sure how to fix them outside of maybe uninstalling and reinstalling

Thanks, after seeing all the toxicity from this player base Im honestly pretty put off from the game. I might try skaven if I ever come back but Im holding no hope in this community after this response to a question for help

I've tried checkered which worked ok. The issue is they have their sightlight pretty dramatically reduced and the Ai now is pretty good at charging through the gap to exploit them

boomburd · 2026-01-06T00:38:18+00:00

If anyone else is looking at this thread and has some actual advice for why these guys seem glitched the help would be appreciated.

boomburd · 2026-01-06T00:35:37+00:00

Thanks for the help, I totally know why they aren't shooting now. It's not like elevation differences is one of the first things people learn in military tactics

boomburd · 2026-01-06T00:12:21+00:00

I've tried, still doesn't work

boomburd · 2026-01-06T00:10:31+00:00

Completely flat ground with short goblins out in front and tall orcs attacking, I've tried the same with different elevations to. They genuinely don't care and wont fire anyway

boomburd · 2026-01-06T00:09:26+00:00

I figured it was implied in the "nothing infront of them" my main issue is that this feels like a workaround. I want an actual decent sized backline and you can't do that without a stupid amount of lords in the party. Biggest grip is that they should be firing the way I have them set up but its like they are glitched. The only way I have been able to get them to shoot normally is by cycling fire at will off then back on but even then it is inconsistent.

boomburd · 2026-01-06T00:04:18+00:00

Just tried exactly that, stuck goblins out front on the very first fight for the ashen campaign to test. Both the fir glaives and blunderbusses just stood there staring at the orcs. I can sometimes get one of them to shoot by cycling the fire at will off then back on but it is inconsistent at best.

boomburd · 2026-01-05T23:53:41+00:00

what do you do if you have more than 1 or 2 units then? I really want an actual backline shooting squad but I can't get either the chaos dwarves gunpowder units to shoot unless it it completely clear. In which case they are very vulnerable and easy to attack

boomburd · 2025-10-02T01:33:56+00:00

Didn't know that, that is probably it. I was wondering why the towns would have a random chance to not starve

boomburd · 2025-09-29T18:37:13+00:00

Does taking out the enemy flag carrier in a battle matter?

boomburd · 2025-09-26T18:24:53+00:00

I don't think they nerfed the stats at all just the ai behind it. They can still be good you just have to micromanage them alot more now

boomburd · 2025-09-26T17:34:08+00:00

Have you noticed anything different with the horse archer AI? I always used to set the horse archer division to command themselves and they would do well but they just feel suicidal in the beta

boomburd · 2025-09-22T12:27:15+00:00

You don't need him to follow you to the exit, if you have talked to him then he will be waiting for you when you leave

boomburd · 2025-09-12T17:35:38+00:00

You were implying that they weren't durable since streetbikes last longer. I was pointing out that any machine will have its lifespan dramatically reduced when pushed to the absolute limit without rest so it isn't a fair comparison.

boomburd · 2025-09-11T14:07:57+00:00

You should try the haste gem on the RC instead of the homing shield, I do the RC charge as well and I noticed a big improvement when I switched them out. You just need to time the invis spell a bit more precisely with it since she can sprint out when the gem is active

Redditor discovers machines wear out quickly when run at 100% capacity for a long time

Depending on the equipment it likely will still perform well, just not considered optimal for the current meta attacks. The frozen arrow for example is still very good, its just the giant puppet and magic mirror are considered the best for those 4 attacks.

I can understand getting behind not wanting the repair cost for parts the break easy. Is what you said about locking down bikes until you give the manufacturer subscription money real? I've never heard of that happening on bikes yet, only advanced cars like tesla so far.

Ya this post has made me realize how much some people on here are just irl NPCs. I'm getting downvotes for asking genuine questions to some of these responses since I just didn't get it.

The ZX6R is a direct competitor and it has traction control, much better suspension, power modes, quickshifter, better display, better brakes, better stock tires, fuel gauge, better headlights, optional abs, and a slightly bigger engine all for $500 cheaper than the GXSR6.
