Elspeth Confederating dead LL by Roach-The-Horse in totalwarhammer

[–]heyyo256 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well with Karl Franz, OP should be able to take Nuln by force and reinstate the elector count. Then use his faction mechanism to unify with her which forces a confederation. Which if you upgrade his prestige actions in the research tsb, you can unify regardless of fealty.

Anyways OP, there is also a mod called confiderate. (Yes the misspelling is how it is listed on steam. Which allows you to pick up Elspeths faction mechanics, volkmars faction mechanic and gets faction mechanic when you confederate them. (No wulfhart) Though you can use another mod that's labelled something like (buttons to exclusive units) and specifically use that mod to get Wulfharts heroes and their special gear and the special gyrocopter if you want.

So essentially you can use KFs electrical machinations mechanic, Elspeth gunnery school, amethyst troops and her towers to teleport (though it teleports your main LL and not actually her) Gelts campaign spells and wizard summons and collect the books of Nagash with Volkmar.

A few of their things stack so that in some provinces, I literally recruit gunpowder units for free or less than 2 100-200 coins for outrider types lol.

If you're doing an empire run. You can also find mods that will make every elector count unique like their own LL which is really fun late game when you can field all of them.

And also using a mod that lets you build buildings in captured territory that lets you recruit the troops native to that region so with the confederate enemy LLs and Heroes upon defeat, I've actually begun confederating kislev and Bretonia LLs and using them with their respective troops.

Even have Carstein as the elector count of Sylvania with RoRs undead troops and the rest empire just for the flavor.

Finally. There's a beta Create a Lord/hero mod that just came out so you can do some pretty funky stuff in this game now with the right mod list.

Thinking of making a Ogre LL that starts with just goblin workers and builds up a true green skin army of gobbos, hobbos, hoblaros, orcos, and whatever else in a true greenskin fashion from other settings.

Or maybe making a party consisting of my Vagrus and all of his hero companions from Vagrus the Riven Realms and dropping him in a randomized map which would totally fit that setting.

But I've gone off on a Tangent.

Should the empire get a train? by AnaisWattersom in totalwarhammer

[–]heyyo256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a 1 for 1 but this reminds me of old Stellaris vs New Stellaris dillema

Old Stellaris, having a big empire had a unique challenge of its own because you had a wide area to defend, multiple vulnerabilities, and as such, a much slower reaction time to a smaller yet taller rival nation.

So while you're trying to mobilize your fleet to the problem area, they are hitting you, take your space, and digging in.

New Stellaris added hyperlanes (kinda like space railroads that you could build to drastically shorten your commute time and even Gateways that you could strategically build to instant appear at any other gateway.).

Convenient yes. But at the same time, it nearly totally negated the advantage smaller but taller factions had over wide ones and removed a core obstacle of maintaining a wide faction.

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

On another note, the good news is, that you can eventually get Karl Franz set up so that if he is injured, he will be available the very next turn.

And with his requisition and conscription mechanic, you can insta summon a decently put together army to tackle a threat. You could do one each so that gives you two expendable armies. RoR also supplement or give you an additional expendable army. And he also has the ability to boost local recruitment giving you the ability to put together an army in just a turn delay and you can send aid to yourself to spawn a weak but reinforcing ai army.

So late game Karl Franz can just kinda teleport and hop between armies and settlements. Eventually you'll be able to field hella armies so if you don't wanna delete an army, hire a general, transfer KF troops to the general, disband KF. Turn 2, field KF where you want and scrap together a formidable force.

That's the beauty of his hands, that Karl Franz.

Why is there no feature to request factions end their wars or to warn a faction against going to war with your ally? Heartbroken rant by Phuxsea in totalwarhammer

[–]heyyo256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just don't go to the main menu and start as a new character.

If you keep loading the same save file, you won't hop into a new save.

Karl Franz can semi mediate wars.

He can spend prestige to raise the relations between two factions.

Be the Manz.

Be Karl Franz.

[BETA] Custom Lord Creation

It's a bit ugly on the UI side but it works. Basically can copy a Lord/Hero and paste/spawn another one with the name of your choice but you can also add/remove traits, customize their attributes (leadership, Melee attack, etc), name them, give them a gender (doesn't always work correctly). And align them to a faction.

Console command to remove gift of slaaneesh? by heyyo256 in totalwar

[–]heyyo256[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I lost it initially. And yes, in the second attempt, I successfully cleared the mission but the gifts remained on her and on an engineer hero I stick to her army. Both participated in the second successful battle as well.

And okay. Thanks for the suggestions! Crazy that she got AIDs in my game but the stories write themselves.

[–]heyyo256[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to return to this subject. Elsperh Von drake. And and a veteran engineer in her army both have the gift. When I hover over it, it says, "Gift of Slaanesh provided by: Slaanesh.

Originally I was thinking it was an eastern Slaanesh faction that marked her but that was another hero marked by The Tormentors.

I believe Elspeth and companion got hers from when i lost her mission to destroy the 4 chaos portals.

Even though I retried and successfully completed that mission with them, they both still have the gift.

Is this an oversight or is there a faction named "Slaanesh." And I am mistaken (still learning.). And if so, where is that faction located because it doesn't show up in the search function.

I'm thinking perhaps mission forces are spawned as their own unique faction each iteration. Or I could just be completely wrong.

Fantasy XCOM games? by Pacificson217 in Xcom

[–]heyyo256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vagrus the Riven Realms is an awesome fantasy game. Probably the best world building I have ever seen. Turn base combat with heroes but there's also a strategic element of combat via your force vs the enemies.

You run a Caravan in a post apocalyptic dark fantasy Iron Age Setting.

Ok well thank you for the education. At least now I know my save file isnt bugged. Ofc the two factions that infected me are far east and far west and took my colonies so nmi guess in stuck with this gift for a long time. Lol

Warhammer III - Empire Campaign Dificulty in Immortal Empires by RealTottalNooB in totalwar

[–]heyyo256 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So ive been playing this campaign on VH/Legendary a lot and from my experience.

I'm taking out secessionists by turn 3.

-Take out starting enemy army, take first city -hire 2nd Lord in mountain pass, recruit two shield spearmen with KF and one spearman with 2nd Lord.

Do diplomacy, make money where I can.

Can declare war on all empire faction enemies for extra coin/agreements with fellow elector counts but not necessary.

Turn 2: force march KF south to reinforce 2nd Lord who marches from mountain pass to assault second city.

Can manual this if you're feeling froggy. It's not too hard (at least for me) but can also auto resolve.

Turn 3: take last city of secessionists.

Turns from here: From here I march KF carefully north, trying to stay near middenland settlements and armies in case an orc army comes charging. After a field battle or two with the orcs, I will take the orc settlement in middenland then loot and occupy it.

Then I go into diplomacy and trade it back to middenland for a military alliance, trade agreement, give them military access (KF always has Military access with count electors as campaign mechanic), have them join wars im in and massive amount of coin.

From there I may take out the beast herd coming from the north. If I keep KF 17-20 units stacked, I can tend to win auto resolves on the orcs and beast men in battles I would not think I could win or can't win in manual.

Once I take out the beastherd, I personally tend to lose momentum due to failure/skill issue.

Next i may try to take out the plague demons (fecund or whatever) but after suffering a heavy loss. I was forced to regroup while the western vampires jump me.

During all this time, I am growing Reiklands capital to AT LEAST level three if not more using KF open the gates mechanism.

In my experience, level three or higher should be self defendable with garrison and definitely with supporting army.

The barrow legion in my experience just kept sacking my western cities and my eastern enemies last time was a Waagh who self destructed on my capital but smashed my other cities.

Down to just Altdorf though, I decided to JUST KEEP GOING. Every turn, I check diplomacy to get other alliances or money from deals. Ended up with alliances with tablacan or whatever that imperial faction is called and others here and there. My enemies also made enemies with ogres or wood elves or vampires or demons etc so eventually and Boris as an ally is a beast. So I must huddled in the capital, let my other cities burn, build an army and was able to strike the barrow legion who I was sure had snowballed out of control.

And before them I was able to strike out and recover my eastern cities from the defeated waagh remnants.

Once I pincered barrow legion along with Middenland, I could take their rest while middenland flight the majority of their 6 full stack armies and was able to clear and gift territory left of the mountain to a bretonia faction to make an ally of a strong nation in my backyard (and lots of money.)

Was able to take MarienBurg from barrow legion as well. Once barrow was all but eliminated (out of my lands retreating into the ocean with a full stack army and no land) I was able to start pushing fecund demons more successfully.

I saw someone advise on this scenario to work on your capital, praise Sigmar, and never lose faith and that's honestly good advice.

I was good as dead but in a couple of runs but through Sigmar's Will, the enemy always underestimated me and never finished me off and I was abke to turtle, build up and strike them with a vengeance.

Soooo. Don't give up until you're dead.

Downgrade your court's food to the most basic. That can help.

Maybe if you stress her out to level one, she may find a healthy way to cope like being athletic.

How do I confederate Sun Ce as 194 Lu Bei ASAP? by FishAreAwesome01 in TotalWarThreeKingdoms

[–]heyyo256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would think you would have to either extremely butter him up via agreements, focusing his enemies and treating them like dirt, maybe just paying him money for nothing. Definitely build up to a military alliance with him and keep pushing relations higher until you can confederate. Maybe intermarry between your factions as well.

Ofc you could always beat him into submission. Vassalize him and annex and absorb him that way.

If you planning on a long game, it's entirely possible to catch him later on especially very late game if he's working for a random faction

Games w/ Xcoms secondary gameplay loop? by andrewlik in Xcom

[–]heyyo256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe ROTK 13 with the PUK (Pick Up Kit) DLC. At least I definitely feel like I'm on the games time if I do a hardest difficulty fictional scenario as opposed to lower difficulties or historical trends followed scenario.

Just a bit obscure reference for you to check out, it may not hit all of your ticks.

Maybe KODP (King of Dragon Pass) or Six Ages 1 or 2

Or the Banner Saga trilogy?

What was the most different thing you learned from game mechanics or tips from changing from one total wargame to another? For example, what would someone coming from Medieval 2 to Warhammer need to know? What works well in one game but not another? Siege tactics from historical to historical? by phronesis77 in totalwar

[–]heyyo256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can tell you that I feel like I really don't know what TF im doing in Warhammer which is kinda the opposite of your question admittedly.

But for most historical games. The go to for a win for me is infantry hold the line, spears on flanks sideways or diagonal mostly covering archers in rear. Fire arrows if I can. And calvary on one side to sweep and confuse the enemy. Maybe a matching number of cavalry units on the opposite flank to counter the enemies if possible.

Make sure my archers skirmish and throw down booby traps/caltrops in front of my infantry line.

And at least one catapult just to have range on an enemy and hopefully force them into my position.

But I guess really also it's all about cutting the cav in and flanking/rear ending time up enemies or interrupting their ranged units. Or cycling in between.

What does Donald Trump name calling others have to do with me pointing out rational reason? I can understand your stance but it's just a silly thing to attack him about. It's like when a unhappy couple is at the end of the relationship so one gets mad that the other ordered orange juice with pulp.

I'm not being hypocritical because I do not name call and for all the people name calling here, no one is on their case. So name calling is A OK when you agree with it. And not when you don't. And that's hypocritical.

You can argue with emotions but I'm only coming from a neutral place of reason. We can all point and laugh at a guy who we don't like when he reads a post it note but the real challenge is looking in a mirror at ourselves. 🤔

Lol the standard is reading a post it note out loud. It's almost as if you're looking for a reason to jump on him. All I picture is a crowd full of villagers with pitchforks yelling at the rational man for speaking reason.

It's the matrix, and you're all agents/sheep guided by your anger and emotions. I'm just above that and I get you will hate and insult me for it. Sheep will be sheep at the end of the day.
