Was playing on normal difficulty and managed to wreck all my neighboring factions by turn 100 and fully develop a few provinces with just 3 or 4 low quality stacks. By turn 100 I had to start cranking out greatsword, tank and artillery stacks and in way higher number, which greatly cut into my profits each turn. While it does indeed capture the feel of the end times I can get how this would be a nightmare to deal with on Legendary. | ||

In hindsight I should of hired a Lord at the start of the game and sent him exploring. Those sea treasures are so good for such little risk and they respawn. Definitely could have a made difference in the early game. | ||

EDIT: Alright, here's what I have added: Dwarf nerf: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1188012713 Norsca nerf: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1182733930 (seriously, fuck these guys) And for shits and giggles, an Old World legendary lord skill tree overhaul: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1181665600 | ||

BTW, the Chaos Invasion hotfix is in BETA and it works really well for me so far. To get it log into your Steam library, open up your properties page on the game and look for betas. Install the mortal_empires_pte version. Makes the chaos invasion way easier to handle, they attack other races and don't just beeline for you anymore. The hotfix only works on file saves that haven't already triggered the chaos invasion just FYI. Also, talking about Dwarfs, I saw a single army of Dwarfs auto-resolve win a naval battle vs 3 fucking stacks of Chaos invaders today and barely lost anything. They really need to fucking fix their autoresolve multiplier it's so dumb, especially considering races like Greenskins and Skaven get absolutely fucked by autoresolve frequently. It's such a no brainer thing to balance across the board. | ||

Because fighting chaos and anemic factions that have been raped over and over ain't that exciting either. I had the chaos stirs thingy. Is it too late or am i ok for installing the fix? | ||

Chaos Stirs is just a debuff that gives everyone chaos corruption, the chaos invasion is announced by showing the armies spawning in the chaos wastes, so you're good to go. | ||

I have a strength rating of 2, 90+ diplomacy rating with other Empire factions whose strength rating I absolutely dominate, yet none of those fuckers will confederate with me. That shouldn't happen. They'll only confederate if they're feeling threatened. Otherwise they're happy to just be your allies. | ||

And without the old 'omg chaos is coming' modifier thats a lot harder. I assume its gone atleast, because it was very easy to confederate under it in WH:1 | ||

I believe that TWWH has a lot of potential and they did quite an amazing job with it. Sure, there isn't enough depth (for most factions) but some stuff can be pretty unique, engaging and challenging (Norscan monster hunts, Dwarf grudges, Bretonnia peasant economy, Wood Elf amber tech, Warriors of Chaos and Beastmen hordes, Greenskin and Beastmen Waaagh!/Brayherds). I also like the fact that different factions are unique in more ways than ever (not just pretty much the same unit but with different stats). Inclusion of monsters and flying units, as well as magic sure as hell added a ton of depth as to how the battles can be played. All in all, compared to MW2/Rome: + more diverse factions + interesting new faction mechanics + much more interesting and deep battles (unless you want to play it really efficient, then it's just spamming cheap units and autoresolving everything - autoresolve is way too strong in this game but if you're playing the battles themselves they're much more satisfying than previous titles) + lord/agent development + items and followers - strategy on the world map (especially settlement management and diplomacy) have been simplified and taken a step backwards - naval battles just aren't really there (which is fine by me because I hated those in say Shogun 2) - siege battles are crap and boring due to all the corner-camping sheananigans In summary, it has been much improved in some "micromanagement" aspects while its "grand strategy" aspects suffered. It's awesome if you like/want to role-play a bit. That's for single-player. When talking about multi-player TWWH is miles ahead of its predecessors (specifically because of all the "micromanagement" changes). Edit: Another thing they should really work on is your power curve. Because right now the game can be super hard in the beginning while being a breeze near the end. If they reversed it, it could be a nice change. | ||

Also regarding the confederating, everyone just started hating me more and more even though Silvania was owning them hard. | ||
