It isn't Warhammer if you win all the time

[@DM-dy9bq]

2 simple thing to fix that : - a smarter and logical diplomacy, especially the counts and order faction. An actual defense mission to fight kharaz or festus with your allies, not just autoresolve to a random skaven/orc "attack" every 10 turns - an actual useful counts who can stand on its own more than 10 turns (or 2 turns for hochland) so the diplomacy game can works, more than babysitting the whole empire as franz and resettling the ruins. Boring!

Seeing the constantly dropping Imperial Authority makes me wince in barely concealed pain.

[@dangilchrist9364]

Yeah, it's something I think new players do wrong (not saying this feller is): you've got no good reason to confederate straight away. There's plenty of expansion to be had from the VC and Marienburg, and the AI electors have much bigger armies than you would for the same territory / income. But hey, this is a pvp match and making a super sweet video, so it's all good. I think pvp campaign works best with a fairly easy campaign setting.

[@elperronimo]

when he confederated with hochland(when they only had 1 settlement) i cringed

[@Ahrone1586]

@@elperronimo why

[@johnolsen8772]

​@AgustinBre you get major debuffs for having negative imperial authority and it costs 3 to confederate. A faction wide debuff for a low level settlement is not a good trade in most cases. In this case, the player was making the decision based on role-play or cinematic reasons rather than strategic thinking or planning. Its better to let the AI build up settlements because they can never go bankrupt then you confederate and take a level 5 city instead of a level 1 town.
