Can you not go to encampment stance for every faction, or am I missing something here. | ||

The global reinforce is nice, but if I want to build units in my main province then walk them out to the main army, I don't really have any choice but to have a lord handhold them out. -Runes and Banners don't stay on the units from battle to battle. I think they should at least give a prompt if you forget so you don't go into battle without them. Waiting to reinforce seems better than previous incantations where without the proper building you couldnt just reinforce. Then again, it doesnt seem like my old tactic of, make 3 large armies fight until they are spent then call for peace, build up for a bit then do it again works in this game i guess | ||

Not a ways a way in front of me. I mean literally right in front of me. Is this an ambush stance or some shit? was it a swampy map? i had that happen once vs vampires, its definately a bug, but in my case was a bit funny with the "and then suddenly zombies" | ||

I either have to pay double to get the global reinforcement or I have to buy a lord specifically to walk reinforcements out. I mean, I guess I could walk my whole army back. | ||

Its so annoying to play catch with several small armies rampaging through your territory and just running around somewhere far away from their homeland ... All it does is delay victory because you have to keep more armies somehwere in the hinterlands to defend instead of using them on the offense. Also after I sack or occupy a place my army can't move on whilst the enemy AI does not seem to have this restriction ... | ||

Also the thing is that you can move after destroying a town, using the march stance, just switch afterwards. And sacking does not restrict your movement at all. The AI tends to commit sudoku into your garrisons if they can't find a suitable target anymore, so put a wall on everything, really, it is cheap and there is not much you can build on them anyways. Public order is hardly an issue except if you are playing legendary, and even then you only need one per province, and the most important buildings only mean something if you build them at capitals. | ||

it seems like every battle is just Are you defending? okay your entire deployment zone is in a canyon have fun are you attacking? good luck attacking into this enormous 90 degree mountain it is completely inconsistent with what the map itself looks like Even attacking into the same town that you just defended yields a completely different map | ||

First campaign I heavily overextended to the south, trying to save my dwarven allies (yea, I know how that sounds), holding the Borderlands against 2 greenskin faction waaaghs and Bretonia while fighting the Empire and Chaos invasion to the north. Was alot of fun. Started another one and currently slowly creep to the north and east, ignoring the south for now. I hope there will be a solution for the Autoresolve issues (Zombies being calculated badly, but mainly the issue with small units losing alot of their hp instead of a proper losspread across the army). Campaign movement seems to need a small buff for the player and AI needs to stop assassinate spam(oh well, thanks for mods). | ||

Quickly work to unlock them and then put them in your armies for some easy levels. They can get 3 early bonuses to assassination which helps deal with AI agent spam and they can slow down armies to allow you to fight. Added bonus is their ability to break city walls to avoid sieges. | ||

Im playing Empire on normal difficulty, any tips for starting out? should i making a lot of armies, taking a lot of cities, sacking cities, or chillin out and playing passive? I feel pretty lost here. You are playing on normal so it's better you just explore stuff. Anyways some tips for the beginning: - Growth as a building comes first if you have decent income (i would say 2k is decent early). Faster growth, faster buildings, faster income. - Check the requirement of soldiers and more importantly, buildings, you can't get IV or V buildings anywhere that's not your capital's province, so plan ahead. - Get your first full province ASAP, but check out surroundings to hold it. Marienburgo will take any chance to backstab you, and orc hordes can be really annoying with their tunnel movement. - Whatever you do in your first turns, if you can, always recruit more soldiers for your first army. IE - First turn, attack the sucker, but don't chase, stay in your territory for extra turn reinforcement, then next turn capture Grunnburgo. - Once you get your first province, there will be hordes of orcs rampaging, be smart, build garrison in non capitals once you get them at lvl II. - Your next choice of expansion should be marienburgo, fat fat gold there, and noone will give a crap. I'm sure there is people who can come up with better advice, i gotta admit that i have the most fun with Empire on combat. The mix of early game of troops they have is just perfect, get some mortars with your arquebusiers and crush everything. On May 30 2016 01:50 Teoita wrote: Goddamn dwarves are fucking bullshit. I feel like as greenskin your only strat earl on is to fuck up the other greenskins so hard you persuade the dwarves to magically like you and leave you alone for a while Are you autoresolving ? | ||

Dunno, i haven't played greenskins much tho, but the time i did once you get the waaghs rolling early on, and send it to capture settlement after settlement. On turn 30 i already had 2 full provinces, almost a third, and because i didn't really want to conquer more but have some dwarves as punching bags for lvls, sacking and waagh generation. | ||

Hammerers are a bitch to deal with. Focus your arty on them as soon as you can. I also find goblin wolf riders (both spears and bows) really useful vs dwarves since bows in skirmish formation are a bitch for them to deal with (and AI is dumb and will try to chase them) while spear wolfs can run circles around them and get to their juicy war machines and shooters. | ||

Really enjoying the game even though im a little lost, i will use these tips to great effect! | ||

just kill the other greenskin tribes to get a waagh and then capture dwarf capital with it. Just get big and hit all undefended dwarf cities to keep them small and you rich. You can also raid the borderprinces for 10k per city. Dont go north. get blackorcs and then do whatever you want. | ||
