I did and got bored real fucking fast. Though I also find tzeentch and machinations etc boring. Doesn't help playing Norsca feels like you are just playing the starter units only of Chaos. Sayl himself does nothing for me. He looks like a generic lord I recruit to pad out some support army. I genuinely would not be able to pick him from a crowd of chaos sorcerers. I don't expect a clown character but his design and theme is extremely bland.

For the record my favourite armies are unga bunga slayers/saurus only types.

Fag. Rome 1 is lauded for a reason. Expanding and conquering for your own superior people is kino of the highest order and every faction that fails to grasp that feeling of taking control of a Roman patrician family and conquering everyone else in service of your factions ideal - is a shit faction that eventually gets patched to have conquest mechanics. Even Chaos Warriors with their Dark Fortresses.

90% of the time the dark elves will dominate Naggarond and the Empire will dominate the old world.
The lustriabowl is a toss up though yes.

All of those factions except Nurgle and Ogres have dedicated presences in the old world though?
And Nurgle can be excused because they're in a Chaos fortress where Chaos should be and Ogres are capable of going anywhere and doing anything.

The Slavs of Prague put up a fierce resistance, peppering the Reichs troops with fire arrows. The siege tower bursts into flames, followed by the battering ram. Taking advantage of the confusion, the Slavs sally forth and charge. A melee around the gates ensue while the remaining German soldiers scale the walls with ladders. Archers fire over the walls into the defenders back lines, in an attempt to provide covering fire.

Yo Froggy. What are your overall thoughts on Tyranny? Is it true it's the CRPG with best replay value and reactivity or is that overhyped? Worth a buy?
>>
>unpaid interns
>>
>>555285227
It's good, but it's not the best. Tyranny is relatively very short game, especially if you're used to 120h big RPGs so keep that in mind: you will have a high amount of C&C crammed into a relatively short playtime. On the other hand, this yields nice replayability.

Also, Tyranny suffers from one major problem few people talk about: extreme repetitiveness when it comes to encounter design and enemy variety.

Overall, it's quite good, but not on the level of Pillars 1-2 in pretty much every aspect.

in history as well as in gameplay,
ranged attack = civilization, protagonistic, superior, requires organization
melee attack = primitive, simplistic, brute, NPC, thrives on chaos, basically serves as a test for how good you are at shooting and holding lines rather than actual peer conflict

however thanks to the magic of fantasy and video games we can experience and simulate wars between civilizations and demonically-blessed hordes of retards who resist bullets with their face, on balance both sides end up being pretty fun in their own ways

I dunno, that's true of empire and bretonnia, but you have Helves (swordmasters, pheonix guard - plus their basic spears have famously good MD) and Dwarfs (hammerers, Ironbreakers, slayers, really they have some of the strongest melee infantry in the game. They are maybe THE strongest faction for infantry beatdowns) and even Kislev and Cathay have some pretty tough dudes with their jade warriors and tsar guard. Lizard saurus too if you count them as an 'order' faction.
Skaven aren't exactly Chaos but they're pretty famous for their missiles and chaff.

They cant be used a frontline. Their low models just get chewed up, especially if they're being shot at too. Now the halberds are great for protecting your arty. Two units in the back to defend against cav or monsters works well. Depth guard shine in a 1v1. Rotting promethean gunners are a way better front line unit.

>>555293416
People complain a lot about adding content that dilutes faction identity, which I agree with in some places, but I really do think that Bretonnia could afford a bit more than *just* 'most (but not all) types of cavalry' and 'shitty cheap infantry'.

Like we don't exactly need Chosen Peasants (Dual Weapons) or Peasant bowmen (Grudge-Rakers) but, like... we can afford to be a *bit* less stark and uncompromising than the current situation.

Imagining...
-Robin-Hood-y stalk+fire-while-moving decent-melee-combatant archers
-lower-mid-tier infantry with stat-lines similar to foot squires but with halberds/sword+shield called 'Royal Guard' or something
-LONGbowmen!
-Balistae!
-Knights of the Realm (sword+shield). Gives you a melee-cavalry that isn't Grail Guardians
-Sergeant hero?
-Lore of Light for the spellcasters, no idea why they don't get it already.

-God please give us better models, bret peasant models look so fucking crusty

Celestial Lion or Terracotta sentinel. They cause terror. Don't park em inside, park em behind and let em charge.. or use your dragon lords, they also have terror and make rats route.
Or send a sac unit ahead like dragon guard that eat the summons.. or cast the ward save shield on artillery.. dunno, be creative..

I've tried that but rat summons melt things too fast so even if the ranged survive they take too much damage

Not with tier-0 anti-large spearmen. The rat summons has clanrat stats, I believe, so they're tougher than skavenslaves. If you're getting buttfrustrated as Cathay, I recommend keeping some jade warriors or even peasant horse behind your arty to support. Give's them the yin/yang bonus for the fight, too.

Having infinite money off just 1 settlement and 10+ recruitment slots will do that.
The secret is just to farm the AI's stacks for gold until you have a big enough bank that you can dip negative for a while with an extra army, then just bruteforce the AI's recruitment settlement. Once you put it under siege and their fountain of units is shut they just crumble.

games with actual design for 1v1s don't need several pages of houserules to do that, the internal rules of the game itself are enough

>>
>>555354173
>nooooooo you have to allow me to cheese kite you LEGEND SAID SO LEGEND SAID SO
>>
>>555354173
It does need to exist. Because most units move forward and backwards at the same speed, there's nothing preventing a player from kiting forever, hiding their army in the copious forests on every map and stalling for time, corner camping or just making a noob box on some highground.

There's really no counter to corner camping except to know that your opponent will corner camp and bring a comp tailored to beating it, which some factions don't even have access to. The other options aren't necessarily meta but they would permit someone to essentially make the game not a game anymore and waste 40 minutes on a 5 minute battle.

Incidentally you can play for time in singleplayer, since the time limit expiring is a win condition for the defender, and it just breaks the campaign.
>>
>>555354281
Maybe stop him from doing that?
>>
>>555354281
>>555354697
The domination game mode itself makes this rule unnecessary. Engaging in such tactics does not hold a point.
>>
>>555354697
Which is why strategy games designed for 1v1 put limited resources on a map so the attacker can attrit the defender and why tactics games designed for 1v1 put objectives and victory points on the map that you need to control or lose, thus giving hit and run delaying moves a place but not game winning on their own.
But MPfags even rejected domination at first, crying and whining that land battles with their insane houserules were better. Hell, they might still think that way for all i know, i stopped paying attention shortly after metafags bitched that a bunch of khorne hounds and harpies got countered by rat summons so too many summoners should be banned.

Found a mod that gives Karl Franz extra tech to research, that is all the tech from the non amethyst unit upgrades from Elspeth. Costs gold and prestige so not broken.
Playing on the old world and by turn 20 I have barely secured the Reikland with rats and orcs and beastmen everywhere.

Middenland down to one settlement out of a dozen, Ostermark gone, Nordland nearly dead, Ostland crumbling to 2 different undead and nurgle scottish guy. Hochland fortifying their capital and squatting in it. Talabecland doing ok but mostly because I took all the pressure off their east by returning 4 settlements and wiping out the rats.

South is fine, Stirland about to fall to vamps. I have 3 armies and 2 are trying to save Middenland and then recover Nordland.

Knowing I have the flexibility (And firepower) by the time Archaon instantly confeds all of Chaos and Norsca and wanders down with his million stacks is making my Empire campaign fun. I hope I can tard wrangle the Empire then roll over Marienburg and recreate the Westerland Elector state BEFORE the World War begins - but I doubt it.

There are at least 6 different rat clans alone shitting up the Empire, and I have only (mostly) wiped out one.
