It does provide some nice vision though. And you can meet up with other skaven forces. Question is if you have time for that with annoying Kroggar to the right and high elves on islands just building up to send endless troops along the shores. Queek is in a really tough spot, but once you gotten rid of the islands and have a good assassin you can rush over the continent. As everyone else it at war up in north. | ||

You get a warning for disbanding. And small armies does lose you loyality sometimes. Feels like a feature, that only there to make your race feel more evil. | ||

Also, it seems like they did something to tweak hellblaster volley guns. I think that they work better in WH2 than in WH1. Hellstorm rocket batteries also seem to be bigger killers now and have more ammo. | ||

If some of the units at the very edge don't have a clear line of sight to the target, sometimes the entire unit doesn't fire. Another thing you can try is hitting backspace to cancel any current orders and activate fire at will again. I sometimes have units who just stand there with like 5 enemy units in line of sight and my dudes still don't fire because they were locked onto the 6th enemy that was now engage with some infantry. But then again, Wrapfirethrowers and a few other ranged units are somewhat unreliable in general and refuse to fire through no fault of your own. I already noticed that for pretty much all archers in Warhammer 2 it is best to deploy in a square rather than a rectangle, they often tend to acquire their target much quicker. Backspace / stop command is a good one though, haven't taken that in mind. It might help in those cases where I did nothing but sending them into position and let them fire at will without them doing anything. Despite not moving they might be stuck in part of their move order, so backspace should fi that. At least now I know I am not just simply too stupid to control them :D | ||

Oh yeah, one of the chaos stacks during the ritual razed one of my settlements and my ally ended up capturing it before I could get it back... Now I'll have to kill him. Why can't there be better diplomacy in this game? :/ | ||

Then again all the races and faction are a bunch of raging racist extremists so might be tough. Still think that diplomacy could use some attention as now it just feels very random (like someone who clearly isn't going to be a real ally in the long run spam-peace treatying you). | ||

Am now trying Skaven (Queek), on very hard. Man, everyone hates you! And this island seems to have no food. And fighting Saurus heavy armies was very hard after my warpfire thrower got killed, but now I've survived long enough to get some tech. But yeah - challenging and interesting stuff. This is such a great game. | ||

This is such a great game. Dude I have so much fun on my current Queek run. A big problem for him is that he doesn't spawn with any artillery from the start, so I simply triggered a rebellion when my settlement was tier 3 or 4 which usual spawns with at least 1 plague catapult or warplightning cannon. Got a rebellion with 2 cannons, killed the crew while making sure that the cannons don't get destroyed. Got lucky and got both cannons, proceeded to run around, charging my lazors, wreaking havoc and giving my enemies the good ol’ alderaan treatment. Having 2 warplightning cannons from turn 8 or so is brutal, skavendeathstar on tour. Suddenly everyone is your bitch. | ||

I heard it wasn't great as Skaven but havn't played them myself. It was fine as High Elf and Lizardman, even when running armies made mostly out of monsters. Completed 2 campaigns with probably more then 90% auto resolves | ||

So especially Lizardmen do great for autoresolve. High Elves do good because their archers have spears (just dont use white Lions if you want to use autoresolve). Both also benefit from the good post battle replenishment options. Dark Elves results are good too. And they have Black Arcs for replenishment. Skavens just take to many losses in autoresolve and have bad replenishement options, when outside their territory. The ai just can't handle the poke from every direction playstyle. I think if the ai wouldn't use the clanrat summon in corners of the map, autoresolve would do much better. Its just really bad in early levels though. Generals get really good meatshield replenishment talents. I appreciate that ai Skaven don't spam clanrats into archers the moment archers get in range. Skaven will probably get some sort of buff or some better AI. As they kill themself with vortex rituals lol. But tbh battles you have no chance of winning but stomp. Means you probably abuse the flaws in the ai. And if you give control to the AI they won't do that :D. | ||

Even then, I don't think it is particularly indicative of much when legendary lords are in play. Tyrion, for example, is a one man army. You can literally use him to tie up entire armies. In general you should avoid auto-resolve unless the bar is at least 90% in your favor. 70% is really risky (you'll win but you might lose a couple of units in the process that you wouldn't lose otherwise). | ||
