Army loss is an instant lose, literally no way for leadership to push against it. Grombrindal has the unbreakable trait.

That attack was strange, very out of character and you were badly outpowered. Must have been the sleepiness. The autoresolve was fair I'd say. You had the artillery advantage but that was about it. And bolt throwers are not amazing artillery. Possibly winnable but only with several very effective burning heads on their rangers, and then everything focus-firing down the trollhammer torpedos.
@GamingForImmersion6 сағат бұрын
I certainly was overconfident. I don't think I can blame sleepiness for the attack, although I felt a little slow with my micro in this one, so being tired definitely didn't help. You're right, I needed to take out those trollhammers faster.

Using Mage Hand to set up sneak attack is no different then using other summons to do it. Necromancer uses undead other wizards use imps etc.... In my mind if it can do damage to the enemy then it is not abusing it.
@GamingForImmersion23 сағат бұрын
I think the big difference is by keeping it invisible, the mage hand never enters combat and can be moved around at will as far as necessary.
@gerrywhite126021 сағат бұрын
@@GamingForImmersion Good point. Thinking of it like that, I guess it is OP. Maybe keep it invisible until you have it set up then make it visible before you sneak attack. That wouldn't be any different then drinking a invisibility potion and coming up behind a enemy.

Arcane Trickster is fun to play but not as powerful. Still perfectly viable to play the game of course. Like Wild Magic Sorcerer is extremely fun to play and very powerful too but in terms of sheer power and utility you want Storm Sorcerer every time :-)
@alexmashkin863Күн бұрын
Mage Hand allowing you to sneak attack might feel a bit abusive, but, first, it's justifiable - it could create some distraction, move air in their face or something, and second, sneak attack is not that hard to set up consistently anyway, especially with later items :-) So that mage hand doesn't give you that much of an advantage over other subclasses, not nearly as powerful as an additional bonus action of the Theif or Assassins devastating combat initiation.

You can definitely confederate Marienburg diplomatically, but you need to actively improve the relationship over time with small gifts until the point where you're able to start getting treaties with them, and then the positive reinforcement of that takes over. I definitely don't favour conquering Marienburg early in anything like the base game; it's something of a trap IMO. With your campaign movement and replenishment restriction it's going to take a lot of time out of your game which you probably don't have in a Reikland campaign, but two of the big downsides of taking Marienburg early in the base game (Having to pay to defend it, meeting B'elakor etc) would be lessened because of your garrison boosts and the aforementioned movement restrictions. Sometimes your hand is forced with Marienburg because Kemmler can sometimes conquer it. In which case yeah, you definitely need to move against it and him.

Something is definately amiss with the way KZbin is uploading you videos, I watched both this one and yesterday's Nurgle one and both had terrible low resolution. On a brighter note Goblins are my favourite fantasy faction and I still found it funny when Col. Kilgore's dwarven cousin napalmed them all in the battle! I think this is a brilliant campaign because with the rubbish troops we have limited ourselves too prevents the kind of steamrollering we are starting to see in Tamurkhan's campaign and forces you to make tough strategic choices nearly 100 turns into the campaign. Always trust in Gobbos!

I'd take Blacklight Tower then maybe recruit a lord, transfer the units on the black ark over and press inland, depending on what Taurox does. Taurox is a worry but it looked he had a lot of trash in some of the armies. I'd consider moving the sorceress in Malekith's army down south as fire would be a lot more effective against Beastman than Dwarfs and you didn't make a lot of use out of her in the last Dwarfs battle anyway.
@GamingForImmersion4 күн бұрын
