>>582496549
There's just lots of people who are unable to play the game without an invincible melee meat-grinder, as the Empire are built around a more complicated strategy of using superior firepower to wear down the charging enemy, using competent yet unremarkable infantry as a meat-shield and using powerful heavy cavalry as a hammer to finish the enemy off while they're occupied in melee. It's a lot more tactical than just slowly marching towards an enemy and walking over them with a blob of invincible Chosen, therefore there are a lot of people who complain that they're unable to play the Empire like Chaos, Greenskins or even Dwarfs and hate that they've got to use combined arms.
>>582497654
Teutogen being over-tuned led to them completely wrecking the intended combined arms army composition of the Empire. Nagash and Skreech being understandably powerful lords doesn't wreck the intended army composition of their respective factions, they still play as originally intended, true to Undead and Skaven respectively.

Lahmian hero vs vampire hero. How do we Vampire Counts fans feel about her addition? Do you prefer her over the old Vampfu or no? I haven't used her enough yet to say but looking purely at their skill trees, the vanilla vampire feels worse in terms of their "unique" skills. But having a full lore for death or shadows feels a bit better then have three different lores mixed even if the Lahmian does come with Nehek.

It was a trip for me to look back at how fast old tech went in the 2000s for a nostalgia thread. Crysis' minimum specs were for a 2 year old GPU, mass effect's minimum specs was for a 4 year old GPU. So imagine a game releasing in early 2027 that requires a 4080 or 5080 at a minimum.
>>
>>582500262
They'll do that in 2028, 100%. Those sorts of specs are driven by deals with hardware manufacturers, and as I said there WILL be a push towards cloud gaming.

Form a second army and embed your cultist, their army is very weak to burning heads so is beatable with a relatively modest garrison. I think I've also transferred settlement before and then given it back to them for vassalage.

Or maybe vice-versa, give them one of your settlements and then take it back with your changing of the ways, that might work better, I've both peaced out and fought them before and either works.

I think creativity and originality is overrated but at the same time I'm not the one being paid to think up shit and others are. I hate most of the new games coming out but part of that is they're tranny projects doomed to fail from the beginning, not because they were trying something new.

Waiting for someone to make Total War: Cute Anime Girls but no one is going to do that in this day and age. And even if they did, the gameplay would suck because its probably done by an artsy faggot and not one who cares about gameplay.

I severely underestimated the chaos invasion on legendary. The AI factions can't handle the invasion and Archaon comes from any direction, not just the north like he used to. So he popped up in the Grey Mountains, gutted the Empire, and ran up my back door while I was waiting in the north like he used to. By the time I got back to Reikland it was too late. Everything was gone, I gave up and started over. Allied AI factions couldn't defeat a single chaos army. That's too much for a single person to handle.
>>
>>582507139
Spawning around your empire is just so incredibly lazy, he should attack from the north, and if the north wasn't so underdeveloped (which modders have fixed with IEE) he could've attacked from different directions from the north if only CA could develop an AI.

I really don't get it, there's a starcraft brood war AI that is unbeatable now and CA can't train some free LLM to play total war in the year 2026

I've tried playing a campaign with Nagash three times now, Mannfred always makes a beeline and kills me. Recruitment and battle mechanics are nice, the settlement thing is just weird. Not an excuse for being cucked by Mannfred, I just suck at the game

>>
>>582507139
That's a concern I have with enabling it. I liked the idea of a surge from the North, but him just roflstomp showing up wherever he pleases feels bullshitty. I am thinking to have it to 150-200 turns because at that point I should be able to solo handle it. Kind of a boon I ragequit earlier today after I had taking khemri sniped by that gypsy vampire fuck after I first turn killed Settra and the next turn after he was 460 men he had a fullstack thanks to vampire recruiting. I might disable it but then again I wanted some challenge for endgame when I expect ordertide won't happen. God, why is it so hard for them to do it right.

>>582507350
RNG. Or difficulty setting. h/h my first go was placid for me.

>>582507367
I think it's pure laziness. They literally had this exact system in warhammer 1 to the letter. Literally just resurrect that but make it from all across the Chaos wastes. Archaon spawns in the north and south, is unbreakably at war with every other faction, aggression is set to maximum, boom done.
>>
If you're having slow loading or any issues just give it a re-verify, fixed up my issues and shits quick as fuck now
>>
>>582507139
It's not immediately obvious but you also want specialized (preferably single entity) armies to deal with Archaon. His spells have no CD and WoM cost and he can spam the regular and overcast version at once meaning your infantry will all die to multiple purple suns and searing dooms in seconds.

So he literally just spams his spells nonstop forever? What a fucking awful proposition, it sounds like you just cannot win unless you do those 19 unit doomstack memes. Or is this a case of if you don't take down enough dark citadels he's that strong? Of course if he spawns in the middle of your empire then you get to do nothing but run away and spend what, 40 turns reaching dark fortresses elsewhere?

Yah, the AI gets absolutely fucking mogged. Every chaos army is filled with Tier V or IV units and the AI's shit stack stacking can't compete. Like 60% of the world was in ruins by the time I killed him and there where only 20 something factions left. As Repanse he spawned in the southern Araby Jungles. Which is stupid.
It's definitely a scenario belter left for the later turns. The Ai just breaks afterwards andjust huddles at their capital until the next end game procs.

I really wish you could control what endgame scenario fires first so you can make the chaos invasion come last.

Nagash campaign is so stressful.

Wide open start and expansions. Fighting 4(FOUR) factions with underway stance(dwarfs, greenskins, skaven, tzeentch). You get declared on every other turn and have to keep an army on each front. Economy is ass and barely gives money on settlements where you want to expand. Nagash can't be everywhere.

Even had a fucking rogue army spawn in the middle of my territories and start razing shit to destroy land of the dead conversion. Zero chill.

Good thing I left Mannfred alive to watch my south, would hate have to do that as well. Will eventually have to betray him though.

Anons I dunno what to do. I can't recruit units, all my dark fortresses are worthless now, I no longer can do anything in my campaign because I can't make armies.
Do I just try to get a lot of exalted nurgle heroes to make an army? I don't wanna be stuck with my glottkin army for the entire campaign.

Finally finished my first campaign in forever, and that was pretty great. It's crazy that it took CA like 10 years since 2016 to finally make a proper end game narrative since WH1. Final battle with archaon where you get to fight all his lieutenants as well as the 4 greater chaos daemons was pretty hype.
Also, neferata's campaign ended being pretty damn great. I often forgot she's FLC, but her mechanics and unique units easily make her on par with many paid factions.

She's fine. She revived in 2 turns. She's so tiny I forgot about her somewhere during the fight and probably got punted by skarbrand into the atmosphere.

Is it possible, and maybe even viable to play sort of tall as Nefarata? Focusing developing your main region, and spamming out covens as fast as possible?
>>
>>582510061
I dunno how I am going to handle the mountains as Nagash. I'm tempted to experiment with:
>Vanguard citadel that is the furthest north/east of my territory, ideally in a chokehold kind of situation. Like Skarbrand's capital was the one in my last campaign.
>Best 2nd stack there
>Nagash just goes through the mountains and razes every single settlement up to some objective I want to hold.
>Not mind if they recolonize, just an initial raze through. Or sack. Probably sack.
>Once reaching an end point objective, return home and now raze every settlement.
>Once back at citadel flush with new cash, start colonizing the new settlements, with more willingness to try and defend them.

AI on VH Will probably be able to bullshit up more armies/garrisons but my thinking is the slash and burn will distract them. Raze is the safer option as every turn the AI has to resettle is a turn they aren't fucking with me (you). But it feels wasteful with the sack wealth. Maybe end objective is Nagashizzar, since I hear he can teleport there. So put a cheap zombie garrison there so it doesn't get suckerpunched.

I don't see the 2nd stack getting overwhelmed, bigger concern is something runs through and goes to try and do the same to my weak underbelly. But if I can position an agent in the area to try and slow them down if they cut and run, or just see if I can't up the underpass interception rate of the 2nd stack.

>>582511149
Might need to migrate but silver pinnacle is a pretty shitty place imo to build tall. While the mountains to the west make it easy to see enemies trying to reach your territory from a mile away since they will be slowed down, you also have to deal with problems in the darklands and chorfs cannot be trusted, even as vassals. Only stabilized once I captured lahmia because that region is so defensible.
>>
>>582511290
Irrelevant, it's just skeletons. Recruit a new 18 skeletons. They are free real estate.
>>
>>582511337
No idea what weird ass thing you have been up to but Archaon, Vilitch and Skarbrand being in the same fight is strange af.
>>
>>582511337
On the other hand, the corpse and blood economy being mostly region based also makes it so that you can sustain yourself only on one province. If you can amass 30k+ corpses in a single province, that's enough to constantly churn out new full crap stacks every turn.

Not sure because I already destroyed the khorne, tzeentch and nurgle dark fortresses. Only undivided and slaanesh remained. But archaon somehow waltzed into my neighborhood so we all jumped him as he was trying to cross into the darklands via the mountain pass. Fucker still had about 50% ward save so it took forever to finally bring him down. Probably lasted longer fighting them than his entire army.

Just use them as vassals until you feel you are secure enough to absorb them. It's the game tricking you into trying to pressure you to absorb him earlier when letting him cook (assuming you cheat with a respec option since AI can be dumb) helps more.

>>582511202
(Continuing). I want to see about Master Necromancers as a cheap regional garrison.
Cheapest upkeep
Undeath has AOE spells that wont hit your own tarpit.
25x19 for a full stack of zombies if no other agents are used = 475+175 for necromancer. Field battle you're probably fucked but with a necropolis garrison it should be fine unless the enemy is pretty strong or set up to fuck with tarpits (lol you're fucked vs khorne or tzeentch). You can easily wiggle in something more decent. Pyramid upgrades for zombies, I forget if initial lefthand side benefits basic zombies or just vampirate zombies.

The main thing is it doesn't take up any of the necromantic energy or whatever the fuck the 2nd currency is called. Unless I am wrong and I am fairly sure zombies don't require it.
>>
>>582508824
>>582507139
I was playing on normal since I am rusty and just now playing again, but I probably destroyed like 99% of chaos warbands. The AI does use war coordination on them, but it takes them forever to do anything. They end up just actively avoiding them because the autoresolve will just show a defeat so you get chaos armies just destroying undefended settlements along their way. Even saw a single chaos army walking around the bad lands and you had like 5 skaven armies just skampering away from him instead of ganking him.

Yeah I noticed that and was shocked at the results. Ostensibly it's -25% but I had a stack go from 2000 upkeep to 3000 by moving one region over and I am not sure how it was a 50% reduction instead of 25% - unless I am forgetting a ~10% upkeep reduction I may have had which would be 33%-ish, then that makes sense.

I am convinced Nagash is not as brittle or as po'boy ass nigguh as we think, it's just that people aren't approaching it right. A lot of people apparently didn't know (myself included) that you get that 2nd currency by fighting battles in lands you've cursed with undeath and I think adjacent territory.

If I am right on the adjacent territory issue then I think Nagash would benefit from a DMZ stratagem on a direction you don't want to conquer. Build a necropolis, try and up vampire corruption to spread to the next province, and then fight all your battles there. Don't take the settlements just sack them (maybe raze them) and use it as a farm.

Oh, well anon you might be a little blind. One is a WoC warshrine, the other is a Nurgle warshrine. The WoC one gives resistance, the nurgle one heals. So one makes tanky, the other is healer.
The lord got so many kills because I play pile of violence. You see, when faced with overwhelming ods, you stack your entire army into a square in a forest and then do moshpit. The entire enemy army piles around your pile and then the V shape spell does like 50 kills per cast.
That's also how Vamps are played.

When I played neferate, both cathay and the empire seems to have been destroyed. The only survivors seem to have been those in the south, like most of lustria, southlands, the mountains of mourn and the dragon isles, and wherever Gelt starts in.

Hero spam probably. SEMs are pretty bad against him since he himself is pretty small. You can tie him up with chaff because his spells, usually burning head and searing doom, can only hit so much and the AI doesn't really minmax when it comes to angling their spells.
that said, when I fought him, the fucker had 1.7k WS hand around 80/80 MA/MD and 150 armor, 15k HP. It will take probably half your entire faction's armies to bring him down.

Magic and blue lines. Maybe a bit of yellow, I never bothered with the red line.

on the other side of the spectrum you get the Nagash endgame where you only get 20 turns to hunt down his Mortarchs that are spread out so you just can't get to some of them, but they're also normal stacks that die to AI unceremoniously

3:1 fight with my best units and lords and 2 armies played by AI so they're going around like chickens so that archie can't focus his spells on a big blob. Once his army's broken, I don't he spams purple sun anymore and just weakly throwing fireballs, hounds and searing doom.
My archie was around 54% ward save so it took like 10 mins to finally kill him. Had to triple speed because it was taking so long.
I didn't bother risking neferata touching him so was she busy spamming heals and spirit leech.

>The devs said something about how Nagash is designed so you can't do everything without going for ultimate victory because of how widespread his shit is.

This is the dumbest shit ever because the game fucking breaks down after turn 100 or so. You'll have so many provinces and armies that it takes like 40+ minutes to perform a single turn on the administrative layer (and that doesn't factor in time time spent battling).
It escalates to the point where an entire multi-hour session will be spent playing one turn at 180+. The game simply isn't build to handle macro scale management like that.
Probably less than 0.1% of all players have ever achieved an ultimate victory in 3.
Very tempted to wait until VCO updates before I touch the game.

That said, as I type this out, I guess the auto-construct building setting kinda exists for this purpose. For when it genuinely doesn't fucking matter what you build in provinces anymore.

Competent AI doesn't mean that "it will play like Legend", it means AI that'll be competent AND fun to play against, and all of that - without giving it cheats. So it's like playing against semi-competent player, who can actually THINK, but who won't be using cheese tactics.
Best of both worlds.
And yeah, sure, for those who want it they can probably make a "legend-tier" AI.
But the point would be to largely get rid of difficulty levels as a concept anyway.

I fell like I'm having the exact opposite Nagash experience as everyone else. Everyone keeps complaining that his economy is dogshit and they're perpetually poor and beset on all sides by enemies they can't fight off "but at least Nagash himself is OP"

meanwhile I have more money than I can spend effectively, I've picked every fight I've fought except one myself, and Nagash for me is just a *pretty good* battlemage LL who does about as much work as the mortars he starts with
>>
>>582518407
...nigga, the whole point is that you can train AI to NOT cheese the game mechanics. On purpose.
While at the same time, it'll be competent at all "legit" aspects of the game. Like economy, movement, battle tactics, army comp, etc.
It's 2026, and people still think LLMs are just a set of strict parameters, like the old AI done with scripts. It's like talking to damn toddlers.

>make Nagash as braindead as Archaon
It's not that it's hard. It's just a mix of things that don't really work. Mortarchs are just a way of confederating other factions, but the conditions are too weird. Yeah, they make sense, but in my campaign every undead faction has 10+ settlements. I had to go out of my way to fight mannfred just to confederate him to then realize the AI had built him like shit. I don't think it's worth it unless you want a cool named character.
>>
>>582512175
You still lose all of your vassals lands once you confederate. You basically trade a lord and lands you already own only to keep the lord and be forced to re-conquer all the lands he owned
The system punish you both for not confederate the Mortarchs ASAP, but also punish you for confederate anyway. Its a idiotic system that must be pivoted in 9.1
>>
>>582518647
i think Nagash would have been great with something like Nakais system. Some sort of semi horde with an AI vassal that controls everything but the black pyramid.
>>
>>582518686
>You basically trade a lord and lands you already own only to keep the lord and be forced to re-conquer all the lands he owned
Anon. you get all the land when you confed. Plus the 15 armies the AI was supporting with a single province.

It was such an overreaction nerf, there was SO many reddit posts, massive threads where they took the Teutogen guard stats and tested them and it still nearly lost all 1v1s... and it STILL got nerfed

Half of reddit was fudding against it, the other half were putting up real stats that they were dogshit good stats or not but CA took the bait and nerfed them to shit

There was like so many threads with over 200comments saying they were too strong and yet when they were tested on greatswords, they sucked ass

For AI to be fun it just needs to be adaptable. Like, if it sees that you have a lot of cav - AI has to have an ability to keep it's cav ready to intercept yours, instead of suiciding it into your spears, and allowing your cav to reign freely.
In other words, AI should demonstrate traits of an average multiplayer enjoyer, who doesn't cheese and doesn't have hyper-micro (another problem with traditional AI), but can make reasonable tactical decisions depending on circumstances.

It was overdue. They should also give RoRs recruitment times instead of being instant recruits.

RoR is a shit system and this "fix" feels very artificial.
RoRs should be instead like unique provincial units you hire when you have a certain region/building.
As of now it's still a retarded, oversimplistic recruitment system from the earliest days of Warhammer 1, and I've no idea why CA didn't rework it yet.

You can turn regular chosen into Blight kings if you're archeon/Be'lakor. If you're one of the Nurgle boys it shouldn't be too much of an issue.
>>
>>582530595
Neferata's "short" victory requires you to have a T5 capital and make a billion covens. Its reward is pathetic too.
>>
>>582530875
>If you're one of the Nurgle boys it shouldn't be too much of an issue.
It actually is because Nurgle is complete ass at auto-resolving at the beginning, so your normal warriors won't be getting any XP because your lord will win all your victories. Obv this changes later on as you get heroes, but still.

Since we have a unit that's just vampires from a specific bloodline, what other vampire units could we get? We technically already have Blood Dragons in the form of Blood Knights but we could possibly get them on foot too. Something like a hunting pack of Strigoi could be fun but I don't think there are enough of them to actually form full units like the Lahmians do. Necrachs are right out since they're frail spellcasters. Von Carstein would be nice just to maybe get some new assets made for them.
Overall I think it would be nice to be able to run fully thematic bloodline armies including only vampires from that bloodline. We need more heroes too. Ideally change the vanilla vampfu to the Von Carstein and add hero versions for the other 3 bloodlines.

The fantasoi trilogy has been chugging along for over a decade and from the looks of things it will only die because another Warhammer title comes to replace it, 40k may stick around for another decade at least. So the question becomes, could you imagine TW AoS launching in 2037? I'm not confident in that prediction.

AoS has always been in a weird spot where they want people to buy new units so they keep coming up with special snowflake stuff while barely supporting old factions, so people who only know the trilogy would be fucked
look how it's been a decade and they only reintroduced non-slayer non-steampunk dwarfs now

>>582531928
I just think the region caps for confederation is annoying. Maybe there's an argument for flavor I haven't thought of, maybe it's justifiable as a balancing tool to prevent the faction ballooning out of control, but it's not fun. If at least there was a way to increase the cap from the 5 regions at base, either through tech or by collecting more books or completing some other objective, I'd have much less of an issue with it.

I have started 5 times since the dlc, from losing all of my armies and having hostile enemies in my territory. The only time Skarbrand didn't declare war on me before my first army research finished by turn 10, was when I ignored the research and poured every resource into getting the mortuary cult army increase ASAP. I think the slight shift in balance of power might have changed the course of the AI. Then I managed to take the black pyramid with those two armies while it was empty, and finish off N*g*sh. Thorek is fucking Skarbrand and I cleaned up Mannfred and Volkmar and now maybe I can play the game
Every time I tried to fight Mannfred after getting my first province, it would escalate into Skarbrand and then Nagash both declaring war on me while I'm chasing zombies around the jungle

So the realistic options for vampire units pretty much only come from Von Carstein, Blood Dragon, and Lahmian. All of which we technically already have. But I think it would be nice to have an Aspiring Champion type unit from the Von Carsteins or the Blood Dragons. Just so we aren't pigeonholed into having to use Lahmians for all out elite infantry needs.
We damn sure need hero level vamps for every bloodline though.

pretty much, strigoi and necrach do not spread around that much, but that also means each one is extremely strong because they dont water down their bloodline

necrach usually have some necromancers as courtiers
otherwise everyone else basically has vampire thralls

Research the "Gain control of a random vampire crypt somewhere in the world" early.
I got control of one under Mazdamundi's capital.
I then used it to create a super blood dragon lord who starts with an army, waited until Mazda was away, spawned him and his army (and added to it with corpses/blood) and took over his whole territory from within.
Did that a couple more times in other parts of the map, and the end result is Chaos Invasion is about to start, and I have territory in Lustria, southern Bretonnia, Skavenblight, Southern Worlds Edge Mountains, as well as fuck tons of the lands surrounding Neferata's starting area

What’s the point of recruitment buildings in minor settlements? There seems to always be a better option in terms of slot choice, the grave rise is instant and will eventually get you all of the units unlocked, and even necropolis buildings don’t add to capacity past local recruitment which is bizarre. I’d just retweak so that capacity could be gained through building chains in addition to the necromancy tab. You have so many units that need cap upgrades it wouldn’t hurt.

Depends on how quickly they will release new Races and in which order
Unlike historical TWs which releases don't even make a dent in TWW playerbase, TW40k will steal players from it
Game will feel empty like TWW1 did which risks people getting bored of it faster. But if CA/GW won't be retarded about it and add CSM, Nids and Necrons ASAP, then it will be stable
Release peak will double 3K even

ToT is overall pretty good if you like the factions; Aislinn’s campaign is unique, lothern sky cutters with bolt throwers are good, the sea elementals are surprisingly good, the merwyrm is great, and the mistcaller hero is whatever. The rest of the units and the lord are shit. The Norsca rework is fantastic, the loot mechanic is entirely unique and thematic; each faction in Norsca got their own toys to play with and unique campaign mechanics, the new units adds are mostly all great, finally getting a caster lord is good, Sayll is a fun time, though a northern chaos invader campaign is kind of a niche filled by Villitch and Zhatan already, and Nightmaw for Sayl is extremely disappointing. Dechala is most unique of the Slaanesh campaigns but power creeps really hard really early, and can get to the point where she is personally unkillable very fast; most of the unit adds are whatever, the Preyton is better on the Beastmen roster than the Slaanesh one, the devoted suck and don’t gel well with Slaanesh tactics, Slaangors fill a role of a fast infantry which is filled by half a dozen other units, and Pleasureseekers are probably the most broken monsterous cav in the game, at least they were at launch, oh and champions of Slaanesh are really good. If you just like high elves you can skip it, if you like Slaanesh get it mostly for the units (Pleasureseekers, champions of Slaanesh, and the Preyton), and if you like Norsca all of the unit adds are good and the campaign is fun. Overall not as bad as omens of destruction, not even close to as bad as shadows of change, not as good as thrones of decay.

Bhashiva is the definition of mid, her campaign is okay but it feels half polished. The units are really strong but the aesthetic for all of it, like most of Cathay in general, just fucking sucks and makes them feel even more like a Warcraft faction than they already were. I don’t recommend it.

If your general or governor becomes more successful than your faction leader and start accumulating too much influence he might revolt. It really made you start acting like historical leaders who got jealous of their successful generals and tried to hamper them. You could also do things like slander them to decrease their influence and at worst blind or castrate them.

Lord of the End times overall is great; I’ve had a blast with Nagash, he could use a balance pass through, and it would be nice if there were multiple start location options with Nagashizaar and the Black Pyramid, and an option to keep him only as an end game threat if you’re playing other factions. Defeating the Lord of all Undead as Repanse by turn 12 is just silly.
I haven’t played the vampires yet but their rework seems fun and it’s free anyways, I think the only things you’d miss if you didn’t get the dlc for them would be the lore of undeath and spirit hosts.
Thaquol is a ton of fun, most the units adds are very overpowered but fun to use nonetheless. They got the worst of the powercreep stick by far.
Glotkin are now probably the best WoC campaign and are also pretty fun, the unit adds are okay for WoC but great for Nurgle so think of it as a half Nurgle half WoC dlc
Todd is incredibly mid. Most of the units adds adds change little about the empire play style other than give toddy himself a more flavorful campaign.Teutonguard getting nerfed so hard makes them seem useless for their cost, the wolfkin and swordsmen are complete whatevers, MP fags are happy to see dogs but they mean little to an actual campaign, knights of the panther are good but could have easily been an FLC, knights of the white wolf also don’t seem to me like they fill a particular niche that other knights didn’t already have, celestial hurricanum is another okay unit but won’t be a mainstay in all of your armies. It’s nice that Toddy isn’t blatantly overpowered, but it still doesn’t feel good and the other Empire factions still standout more.

Why in the loving fuck would you want to have a strong frontline as Wulfhart? Just hire the cheapest shit like free company and fill the rest with huntsmen and outriders. Add steam tanks later. Just remember that your army MUST consist of at least 50% huntsmen. They can fight anything.

>>582548313
let arkhan handle the west and let manfred handle the south while you push north through khemri and skarbrand. Arkhan you can confederate for basically free and Manfred will need some bribing to get him onside just give him one of settra's settlements and vassalize him until you're ready to do his confederate conditions

My only viable Nagash campaign so far was going north and killing queek so I can access Nagashizzar. the south tip of Africa is complete ass because you aggro Kairos who keeps swapping your level 1 settlements randomly and Aislinn who keeps gifting your settlements to Ulthuan.

Nagash seems pretty kino for a MP campaign since he's so strong but you can keep hitting his territory while he's away to make him weaker slowly.

Agents were fun in older titles, because every agent action was accompanied by a funny cinematic.

I desperately want Officio Assassinorum in 40k, so I want their implementation in some way, but agents as they are now aren't really fun to use and much less deal with so I'd rather they were just battlefield units.

I think I'd prefer it if it was like, you recruit agents into armies, and if they're not in the army then they're in the recruitable character pool and from there they can undertake actions across your territory in the same vein as Eshin/Lahmian actions that also make them unusable for a few turns. That'd incentivize you to recruit at least a few of them for the battlefield and for utility, but you don't have to spend every turn thinking about whether you've moved all your useless little pawns that you currently don't need anything from. It'd also avoid those annoying occasions when you look at your army or hero and they're fucking surrounded on all sides by a cloud of enemy agents spamming actions against them, since the AI also wouldn't place them on the field.
