@@the13thwarrior8 You can on Turn 1 join wars for other order factions like Reikland and Wissenland, etc for money. Added to the money from the two first battles, this can give you enough to recruit a Lord on T1, upgrade Waterfall Palace and then a tun of so later upgrade The Oak and keep your troops upgraded. After taking out Paravon I usually hit Massif Orcal and de-fang Grom before he gets out of hand. You can raise Orcal for BIG money and leave the ruin for Fey Enchantress. Really that area has so many variables. If Grom or Kemmler role high potential they spam units like mad on Legendary, and if Grom gets potential AND Waagh... Best to take hm out ASAP.

@the13thwarrior8 Ай бұрын
It has, and whilst I've been playing SFO, which people recommended to reduce this, it doesn't really help.
@SGProductions87 Ай бұрын
I have a couple of questions in response to your very informative video: 1) Are you sure that miscast reduction effects are functioning properly? When we reduce cooldown or winds of magic cost on a spell, the new values those yield are visually displayed that spell's tooltip. However, when we take miscast reducing skills or take into consideration any abilities or items reducing miscast chance, the new value of the chance to miscast is still displayed as 25% for regular spells in SFO and I believe 50% for overcast spells. This isn't a Teclis-related question as such because what I've said here is true for all spells in the game regardless of faction or race. This issue has been in the game forever by the way and I don't think anyone really knows if it's a UI issue and changes are happening under the hood or if it really is bugged and doesn't work at all. It's something I will ask Venris. . 2) Are you sure Fiery Convocation in SFO doesn't have the absurdly long wind-up time it has in vanilla? I noticed that when I used bound spells they had no wind up time - High Elves get access to some items which can give Flock of Doom or Fiery Convocation or Flamestorm as bound spells - but when I used them regularly there was a wind-up time. Indeed I note that the bound variety of each spell is called "Bound <spell name>" which is a different name to the regular <spell name> and that often means something is different between them. I had a quick look between the two varieties of Fiery Convocation and it turns out that for example, the bound variety does double damage! 3) Does Teclis' Fiery Convocation bound spell stack with the item which gives 4 free Fiery Convocations? From my Knights of Caledor game, the item is called Khaine's Ring of Fury (great item by the way). I recently confederated his faction so I will get to find out but maybe you can tell me before that happens! 4) How do you avoid getting the punishing negative trait from being in Chaotic Wasteland with high Chaos corruption for too long? I feel like if Teclis or any other of my legendary lords gets that one it's game over for me! How do you get rid of that one if you do get it?
@the13thwarrior8 Ай бұрын
Hey, and thanks for the questions. 1.) I did not see Teclis miscast during the game I played with him. I saw Eltharion miscast a LOT, and Cavill, too. In my Gelt campaign he also has the mastery Teclis has, and he hasn't miscast in that game. And I have seen the mages miscast, so I do believe the reduction is working. 2.) That's a good point. But I have had Khaine's Ring of Fury before in WHIII, used it as Eltharion, for example, and it had the windup. But it's entirely possible that a reduction in the wind up time has been added to the game by CA with no news or reflection of that. Not everything makes it into the patch notes. I do have both spells, now, on Teclis, and I can check! 3. ) See 2.) I can look, now, since I have both. 4.) The Invocation of Isha is how I get over the Chaos Wastelend effects. It eliminates all corruption for ten turns. But it does have a very long cooldown. So, you have to get in and get the job done.

I found the best cure for the auto resolve bug is Eltharion's campaign - because of his jailer mechanic you're actively encouraged to manually fight any battle with a lord present until you're so far in the campaign you don't care about his special resource. It also becomes a fun ritual just chasing down lords and trying to time the jail spell right so they don't get away.

I don't see a problem. Manual battles are for turning autoresolve close defeats into victories, or for minimising damage to your army so they're in good condition to fight another battle next turn, or because autoresolve would destroy a unit you don't want to lose. If you're going to win easily with no units lost and the strategic situation allows for a turn or two spent recovering damage, then you might as well autoresolve. If you're doing well at the strategic level, that's the majority of the time.
@the13thwarrior8 Ай бұрын
It's a personal preference isn't it? And we're spoiled since Warhammer II where we had no idea what the unit losses might be. One of the concerns is that the game is easier, far easier, and that the need to reduce casualties or turn defeat into a win is lessened. It's human nature to click auto when the fight is Yet Another Win, whereas in WHII the occasion of a simple, easy victory with few casualties that would replenish over the end turn is reduced.

The AI is almost certainly the root of the problem. And its chicken beahviour. It runs from fights or doesn't coalesce, allowing you to take it piece by piece.
@pootytang69 Ай бұрын
yeah I think the AI not making armies you WANT to fight against is a huge chunk of the issue - another chunk of it is most fights in the game will be at least 20 v 20 - and unless you've got multiple armies you enjoy using, and consistently get enemy armies you enjoy using them against, you'll also end up auto resolving just to avoid tedious seeming match ups. I think part of the auto resolve issue is also because theory crafting has become such a compelling aspect of the game that often a player is going into a campaign with the aim to try out a particular army comp with their LL and to see it running with all their buffing skills and techs up and running - this often means you kind of want to rush through early game to get to a stage of the campaign where you finally have the army you actually want to play with. But sods law is your LL is now 10 turns in the opposite direction of your military recruiting areas, and you'll seldom ever get around to actually making that army you wanted to play with until the campaign is basically won (steamroll reached) and now it feels arbitrary.

I think the only way to solve for autoresolves like this is first to have impressive and intelligent AI competing with the player for world dominance. The game should intelligently select which factions are destined for greatness based on the players start position, faction, and many other factors you could add. When the player has 100 settlements Ai factions destined for greatness should also have similar outcomes. I feel the end game crises option is trying to be this, but it feels unnatural and doesn't help with the AI's overall intelligence level. Then there needs to be an intelligent AI which can simulate the battles based on the players tendencies and tactics but handicapped. These simulations should dictate the results of the auto resolve, then if a player wishes to retry the fight if it generate unsatisfactory results they may. Ideally this handicap will ensure there is a reason to manually oversee important conflicts instead of recklessly autoresolving them. For now the best we have is PvP, in game 2 you could choose to fight a battle your opponent attempted to autoresolve. Having the other player punish you for spitting out autoresolve stacks meant that to succeed you had to prepare carefully for battles ahead. But sadly in game 3 they removed this feature and didnt even set it to be a toggle, although you still have the option to fight a battle the enemy player chooses to fight. thanks for highlighting auto resolve in this video! i love the game but i too feel autoresolving cuts alota the meat out of it at times

They need to return to the old auto-resolve system of older games like Medieval 2. The Auto-resolve gave you no real indication of how the battle would actually go or if you'd lose particular units.

Incentivize actually fighting the enemy and make hand-waving the battle a massive risk and/or detrimental.

That was how it was in Warhammer 2. I think it told you if you'd win, but not how many units would die or get eliminated. Like the diplomacy, you had to make offers and never knew if it was fruitless if the AI didn't accept. Been 2 years since I played it, so...

It's not really unbalanced or buggy. It just plays the battle out as if it were AI vs AI. It's giving you a look at what the outcome of an AI vs AI battle would be. As a player playing not exploiting, you can usually beat the AI in a real battle easily with minimal casualties. In Warhammer, if you want to cheese, you can frequently win battles the AI would lose, without taking a single casualty. I will often play the first one or two battles, and then auto-resolve the majority of the rest, only taking big battles, or cool battles. In a lot of ways this increases the longevity of the campaign, and maintains some semblance of challenge into the mid game. Yea, I could manually play every single N'kari battle, take 0 casualties in every battle because you solo every army with N'kari, and conquer half of the donut by turn 10. At which point I may as well play someone else, because I've blitzed the hardest part of the campaign. Had no truly interesting battles to fight, and from here it's just a slog because nothing is left that is challenging.

Auto resolve is a problem for sure, but you also play less than 100 turns... try sfo or map painting and maybe youll have a different experience. You could also try just not auto resolving battles you think would be interesting, despite the results. Many times I just auto decisive victories and only manually fight defeats but that doesnt have to be the case for you

Thanks for these ideas. Map painting is just too tedious for me, I'm afraid. With runaway campaigns it jsut turns into me clicking through. Winning most Long Victories, for example. I have tried SFO and Radius mod and modified AI. They do make aspects of the game more difficult, but they tend to simply make things take longer. For example, making sieges longer because the walls are more durable, etc. AI mods change behaviours and can still be beaten. I'd really like for vanilla to be more of a challenge. Both seem to require that I make things harder, challenge by using worse units perhaps. I do miss that really, really hard first 50 turns.

Painting the map is easy, as the issue is once you get to that sort of strength, you steamroll. So it's boring and not a challenge. I do fight "valiant defeats" as that's usually something I can overcome. And minor city walled sieges? Ughg.

I've thought about the "just play manually" argument, and also done it. But it just doesn't feel good to waste time on battles that you already won, or won't be a challenge, or comes with annoying ass "1 click wonder" abilities.

Since I posted this I have fought more. Battles where there's a medium level of casualties for example. It certainly preserves strength.

I feel you man playing chaos is a joke since their units are so strong in auto I think. I like doing the lizardmen a lot but their faction mechanics are kind of boring so I never end up doing long campaign victories. I wish the late game had more enemy armies to fight. It feels barren to me sometimes.
@the13thwarrior8 Ай бұрын
I totally agree with you on Lizardmen. I really enjoy the units, but city growth is slow. Their locations (Lustria and Southern Whatever) are just basically Skavenville, and I HATE fighting Skaven.

i jjust had an huge auto resolve problem with my beastmen campaign, i was destroying Karl and his Empire i saw one little army in it, 2 spearmen without shields 1 swordsmen and one crossbow. My army Kazrak 8 Bestigors and 5 Minotaurs. i get ambushed by this little empire army and i knowingly clicked on autoresolve because......well its a freaking high end army vs a new game army. i click.......AND I GET WIPED OUT??????????????WTF WAS WRONG THEIR......i reloaded and kazrak alone stomped them he 4 shotted the empire captain lord and it didnt took 2 mins for him to kill the spearmens and swordmen so yeah sometime the auto resolve forces u to deal with them urself. Same goes for some Armies in the game. take a Landship doomstack or Necrofex collusos, this might be one of the best doomstacks in the game because high firepower and super huge meele/short range dmg duo to the rifles of the land ships. But it has rly shitty auto resolve value
@the13thwarrior8 Ай бұрын
This also another issue with autoresolve. Some units are far overstrength in autoresolve due to the values they're given. I've had the reverse of your Beastmen issue, a Beastmen army attacking a small city and LOSING. In the Empire campaign Khazrak will often race for AL=ltdorf and suicide against a weak city. There's no need to defend it.

Good video, discussing a problem inside of Total War Warhammer 3, however if I might make a critique it would be you need to be louder in your video, it's very hard to hear you.

Appreciate that feedback. I'm not seeing the audio issue, I had to turn it down on my end, so not sure what's up. I'll look into it!!!!

Hey, Stewart, if you read this, check the Mods. I'm only using the MIXER, not the other mod we discussed, so maybe try just the Old World and Mixu's MIXER?

Always a pleasure seeing Eltharion again. I'm doing a Bretonia campaign right now, I think I really suck at siege battles or maybe Bretonia garrisons just suck but I just can't survive past turn 30.

I am totally incapable of winning as Brettonia. I just can't do cavalry. And the infantry are appallingly bad.
