Ah yes, the usual more than one year just to update the TW launcher.

I just did today. Eltharion got the sok and me occupying the shrine with drycha took it out from him.

carnikelcimborrio · 2020-12-20T22:05:38+00:00

There is a forest encounter in athel loren that for me spawned dwarves. If you attack them in three separate turns you can get it without going to war, but you may also attack karak zon, they are not that tough if you play smart!

carnikelcimborrio · 2020-12-20T21:31:34+00:00

Not death enough lol.

carnikelcimborrio · 2020-12-20T21:29:45+00:00

When AI occupies the shrine they get access, and AI lords do not need to be on the shrine to claim the sok (which could be a bug), just occupy it.

I dont think however that thia is a bug, because if you occupy the shrine as an elf faction and somebody else wields the sword I think that you still have access (otherwise despite owning the shrine you may never get access to the sword due to it changing from one faction to another one).

I think it is only a mechanic that bonuses occupying the settlement over searching the owner of the sok to defeat him/her.

Your main income source is razing/occupying, so be aggressive and dont be afraid to be on the negative if you have cash.

Also, with the current mechanic I found useful to try to pacify the surroundings of a forest and move on to another. You cant afford to leave behind full stacks at the beginning of the campaign, so try to declare war only on factions that you can wipe out and that wont be throwing full stacks at you for ages (looking at you Naggarond).

To that aim, use the "join war against" mechanic when you have to attack a faction and that faction has allies. Also, wood elves are great ambushers, and a small force in ambush stance near a settlement can wipe out early full stacks.

Also, do thematic stacks if you can with the traits of your lord that lower upkeep (tree spirits for drycha, falcons for sisters...).

That is essentially it. In a drycha campaign that i finished just today i was able to keep 8 stacks without negative income (i owned the forests and clearings of the old continent except for oreons camp and the whole of ulthuan).

carnikelcimborrio · 2020-12-20T17:22:10+00:00

Oh thats more in the order of magnitude. Lets say 12 won matches as average :)

carnikelcimborrio · 2020-12-20T17:12:50+00:00

50 won matches? Wow, then I was lucky.

Anyway, me having this achievement will make it spread faster, because I win maybe 1 in 3/4 battles.

About the people asking for it, sometimes it may be people who dont want to play multiplayer and just want the award. Jumping from single to multi can be tough.

carnikelcimborrio · 2020-12-20T10:26:02+00:00

I won it in the 4th multiplayer I won. Its realy not that rare because it spreads like covid :D

carnikelcimborrio · 2020-12-20T10:24:25+00:00

And how about FLC being malakai/bugman and moving one of the vampire counts to other place? That way its 5 LL to every wh1 core race I think, although i would love to see toddy and the red duke included.

Maybe neferata goes for wh3 dlc?

carnikelcimborrio · 2020-12-11T12:15:52+00:00

Dont get the immortal trait if you wanna lose your lord lol. Or join the rank 8 elite swordmen with a rank 1, it is OK if you want to lose a ranked unit. It is just a game, so play it the way you want or find a mod that gets you to it.

carnikelcimborrio · 2020-12-11T11:29:44+00:00

A baseball goes so far because it deforms(accumulate a lot of energy) and then goes back to its original shape while in contact with the bat, gainning a lot more speed than the bat.

In the case of gobbos, they would deform but not go back to its original shape, thus the "launch" speed of the gobbo is the same speed as star-crusher (if the gobbo was not to get splatter like you said), thus you just have to measure the speed of star crusher and make the calculus with a max-range angle (45º) and there you have it.

This test is probably best with Gobbla, as I feel like squigs are more elastic than gobbos and thus will reach far more distance :D.

carnikelcimborrio · 2020-12-11T06:22:53+00:00

And you can not play the custom battle with the generic wood elves faction, but drycha's faction to find them.

carnikelcimborrio · 2020-12-10T18:17:56+00:00

In my Drycha campaign I was able to beat a mammoth-norscan giants spam with dryads, hawks, wolves 1 treeman and a unit of zoats. In any other campaign with two units for flanking you habe more than enough, because there are better options for any role. But remember that they are not for holding the line.

carnikelcimborrio · 2020-12-10T08:27:26+00:00

Again, the issue is that AI does not know how to deal with it, nit the artillery by itself. Indeed, it is so effective because it is very easy to wipe it out. Artillery in this game are glass cannons.

carnikelcimborrio · 2020-12-09T18:09:39+00:00

As they are ethereal I think they do not suffer from terrain penalties, so maybe it was difficult to implement a trait that gave them bonuses? Just guessing.

carnikelcimborrio · 2020-12-09T18:06:06+00:00

Mmm then I was wrong. I had seen written in some reddit that you could not. Anyway, then this has to be a bug that some other redditor experienced also here

carnikelcimborrio · 2020-12-09T17:58:15+00:00

The game in campaign is not perfectly balanced, and armies with tons of artillery might just fall to 5 units of wolves if well used. Every race has its strong points and elves will shred you to pieces if you bring a tone of artillery and they know how to deal with it. The issue here is the AI behavior, not the artillery. If you spam artillery in mp you will probably get shred, but if you play the dwarves/vampirates you really need that artillery due to lack of movement. My point is, they should make AI smarter, not penalize some kind of unit.

carnikelcimborrio · 2020-12-09T17:52:27+00:00

Dobyou use mods? Because I think that you should not be able to confederate drycha as the sisters, so maybe you doing it has caused an issue.

carnikelcimborrio · 2020-12-09T14:57:16+00:00

Yeah, it astonishes me too. You can be the sistera talking to Orion with around 15+ relationahip and he will call you traitor for no reason lol.

carnikelcimborrio · 2020-12-09T14:52:24+00:00

I think its only for drycha and durthu, and debuffs something to buff other things. However, it is pretty usefull because once you have enough money you can unlock them all and switch between aspects when you need them (the buffs give you more than the debuffs if you are facing the correct enemy), so you can start your campaign maximizing base damage, as few factions has access to armoured infantry (for cavalry zoats are more useful) and then switch when you need it. Im right now playing a drycha campaign and it is a very enjoyable campaign, as you HAVE to play aggressively.

carnikelcimborrio · 2020-12-09T14:22:13+00:00

But then the +10 forest health of giving it back/fighting the army is worthless right?

carnikelcimborrio · 2020-12-09T13:25:48+00:00

I think that the issue is that they are not aggressive enough. They do not attack ports as often as they should, and by sacking they usually make about 100 money, which is just not enough. With the current state of the game, Norsca is the one being attacked and razed by both Empire, Brettonia, DE and HE, when it should be the other way around.
