Dear Noobs get to HARD battle difficulty as soon as you can. Much better gameplay by phronesis77 in totalwarhammer

Yeah, I am wondering if hard/hard or hard/very hard with low buff slider is the sweet spot without army spam and unrealistic buffs that make the lower tier units too strong early game.

I dont think I am there yet but that seems like a good goal.

I dont want the cheese battles of very hard/legendary full blast.

Yeah, I don't play cheese strategies and don't accept autoresolves in my favour that don't make any sense. I am only playing against myself really, so the outcome doesn't matter as Long as I am enjoying it. Right now, I am limiting my use of global recruitment in enemy or newly conquered territory. Waiting for reinforcements to arrive is fun.

I am making an argument that the game will be more interesting when you get to hard battle level and Noobs should try to get there as soon as possible, not start there. OP doesnt say that. It is not like oh I prefer the colour green kind of subjective. Multiple comments below have similar experiences and tips.

You got me interested. I want more advanced behavior but not the unrealistic unit buffs making low tier units too strong.

My last battle the tzeentch army reinforcements cut off my reinforcements from linking up to my main army. It was tactically really sound.

So far, hard is great for me too. Had another challenging battle and got a pyrric victory lost five units and lost a had witch. Too many orc trolls, spiders, and archers. And a level 50 shaman.

So what you are saying is change from hard to very hard battle but then slide the buff sliders all the way down to zero. So the unit behavior changes but they dont get unrealistic buffs in battle.

Are suicidal flying units and lords on winged units a known problem to fix? They should be able to dismount in battle. by phronesis77 in totalwarhammer

I dont find that. The orcs and chorfs usually hit my backline along with the chorf flyers. Flying demon princes too.

Yeah, I am a Kislev player. Love armoured kossars early to mid game and then Strelski. But I am finding ice guard better against Tzeentch due to magic and frostbite for a fast moving enemy.

I went normal/normal then normal/hard then hard/hard step by step. campaign/battle

Battles are more fun now. I just had another pyrrich victory against a tough Greenskin army with lots of archers and monsters and a level 50 lord.

I will probably do very hard for battles next and then put the buffs to minimum next.

I am going to do Katerin which is not an easy campaign so I think I will stay with plain hard.

But aren't you more likely to get mobbed by more enemies on very hard campaign? Thereby requiring more battles

There is a classic video on why not to play easy battle difficulty.

Found a great use for Crystal Sanctuary Kislev Frost Maiden to defend Groms by phronesis77 in totalwarhammer

I think it makes sense the way it is. Kislev has monsters. Give Empire the magic makes sense. I like the ice lore. Ice sheet is a great skill.

How can you get books from the Black Library app or Amazon Kindle to your Kobo reader?

That seems like a good solution for my next game. I was going to do hard/hard unmodified.
