Finally, a way to combat auto-resolve sniping my tier 5 units

[@MercytheMad]

Haha it is not guaranteed unfortunately, but it gives you a lot more tools for auto-resolve!

[@TheAzorg]

@@MercytheMad I remember, once i played skarsnik. Autoresolve was all good, then i realised i didnt put any banners on my units! After giving them those banners, the same "easy, efortless battles with no casualties" killed off one or two bannered units, just because xD

[@adriankoch964]

yeah, the surprisingly negative side effects of banners have been hilariously wonky in autoresolve even in wh2 and not just obvious things like +leadership banners causing an unit to get killed off.

[@TheCabarro]

@@adriankoch964 well, it almost makes sense: they stay in battle longer, thus receiving more casualties. OK, it is still stupid, but at least we can come up with fancy explanations! 🤣

[@fedorfedechkin2733]

I wonder why didn't the CA tell us about all those awesome mechanics they added in the DLC. Before this very moment I thought of Ostankya only as reskinned Grom, but now she feels much more interesting for me.

[@OhManTFE]

Nothing wrong with a reskinned Grom. Grom is my favourite DLC faction.

[@Meyna86]

That curse draining health may come in handy when dealing with regenerating juggernauts like Vlad. Still, I'll hold off until a sale.

[@blaat44]

Actual unique faction mechanics make me so excited for this DLC

[@borderreaver4615]

Fucking whale

[@gruuts1844]

Seems like heavily inspired by Groms cauldron. Still unique because its banners, but definitely similar

[@Willdroyd]

A really nieche thing but I'm just wondering. What would happen if you: Request an army of a Tzeentchi faction who has the ROR Pink Horrors which explode on death and ALSO give the banner to them? Double Explosion?

[@quint3ssent1a]

Man, that's some creative thinking.

[@MercytheMad]

I want to know too.

[@mso2013]

Who needs bloated corpses?

[@xavierwinters794]

The best curse has Gait in its name. It hurts units even more than fragmenti when they move. I wipe out entire enemy armies with a single lord with snipe/stalk blessing by running them around on mount while the enemies die looking for me.

[@MercytheMad]

Fragmentii and Gait are both good. I think Fragmentii is better in certain situations. Unfortunately they both use red so you have to choose between them.

[@StarshadowMelody]

oh my god I want this DLC for less money

[@soldier22881]

Thanks!

[@MercytheMad]

Thanks solder, you're a Legend!

[@brokenblade5063]

fun in singleplayer game, on a head to head campaign its too op :P

[@Crucial_End]

Tell me you are a DLC faction without telling me you are DLC faction

[@andrewtobias4545]

Sometimes it’s as little as applying a +4 Leadership banner to save a unit (and half an hour of my time). 😅

[@MrHellboy112]

imo the best curse is the frenzy one, just give frenzy to all enemy archers xd

[@MercytheMad]

Haha nice!

[@MrHellboy112]

@@MercytheMad nvm, earlier when i've done this it gave frenzy from the start, now unit have to be in melee, i guess it was a bug.

[@guilliandussart7802]

but how would the explosion on death work if almost all units rout before they all die ?

[@clockmonkey]

I want AI so fecking stupid it gives me a good Blessing.

[@dougdimmedome5552]

Is their a limit to how many curses can be used in each battle, because that down to 25% damage curse if spammed can literally cripple an entire enemy army.

[@Eclipsed_Embers]

every turn you can only use each ingrediant once (so even if you have all 3 ingrediants of both required types for a hex you could only *make* 3 per turn) beyond that though, only limit to how many you could use per battle is that it's only 1 hex per unit, but every hex is only single use (though you can stack up duplicates if you have a few turns to build them up) just looking at this video they've stacked up 5 copies of Fragmenti, and since they only have 1 of the possible item combos available for it that means that they've been stocking up for at least 5 turns. if you wanted to take out an entire 20 stack using that you'd need at least 7 turns to build them up even if you have all 6 items that can be used for it. 20 turns if you only have 1 possible combo like in the video.

[@MercytheMad]

@dougdimmedome5552 No limit per battle, you can fragmentii every single unit down to 25% health if you want, but you will use up your resources. You can only create at most 3 of each curse per turn (if you have every ingredient unlocked) and you can only use each ingredient once per turn. So you could store them up for a few turns then unload them all on the enemy

[@archaontheeverchosen]

Please help i cant acces witch hut mechanic. I have build the ostankya hut building but still can't see the hut mechanic at bottom-left

[@MercytheMad]

Are you playing as Mother Ostankya? It normally unlocks at the end of turn 1 when you take the dark elf settlement. Only Ostankya has the witches hut mechanic, you do not need to build the landmark for it.

[@archaontheeverchosen]

@@MercytheMad Yes I was playing as mother ostankya. The hut symbol on the bottom right is not here. Not even locked. It is just not here

[@MercytheMad]

Not sure sorry mate. Never heard of that issue. Maybe try starting a new campaign.

[@Medard22]

Holy fuck, I wonder what kind of results will come out if you double a unit's mass that already has a lot of mass... Imagine you get your hands on a war mammoth through alliances, and double it's mass, it might just one shot troops with the charge animation alone!

[@quint3ssent1a]

Eventually unit becomes so massive it forms a black hole.

[@micpa3685]

what is max range of Akshina Ambushers with this buffs?

[@MercytheMad]

I think their base range is 140

[@quint3ssent1a]

Suicide banners are a fun novelty, but... IMO Kislev doesn't has true "trash" units which would fit a suicide bomber role. Nothing on levels of Skavenslaves and such.

[@kluasvt828]

Well since she is morel like a wood creature, she will be using a lot of spiderlings and bats, which you can easily sacrifice

[@sauronplugawy3866]

Their tier 1 cavalary is pretty trash

[@MercytheMad]

True , but I was thinking if you get caught in a battle with a unit on 30% health. Or you know you will get overrun and will need a bait unit to draw some units away.

[@quint3ssent1a]

@@MercytheMad would be funny to give an "elemental bear" banner to an actual elemental bear. Nothing spells TROLLED more than old bear dying in flames only to birth out new one.

[@MercytheMad]

@@quint3ssent1a Haha, nice

[@thomasprice7893]

Holy shit look at all this stuff Mother gets Then you compare it to the original 3 Kislev lords and it's like... they use passive building income to fill a bar and get some garbage buffs... and then a confederation way late in the game when most other factions could have fully confederated already...

[@arkorat3239]

Seems pretty fun. A shame CA fumbled everything outside the dlc...

[@johnpurgent4422]

Too bad SoC is for an unplayably bugged and mismanaged game. Also at a horrible price.

[@StarshadowMelody]

Oh come on it's _Perfectly_ playable. The price is pretty steep though, and i've heard bug fixes haven't been at a particularly rapid pace, so... I doth accuse thee of exaggeration.

[@MercytheMad]

Price is very dubious, but I have bee playing it fine. About maybe 30-50 hours in , no game breaking bugs so far.

[@StarshadowMelody]

oh my god I want this DLC for less money
