The absolute bear minimum we need for the seiges... Is to re-skin the ladders based off the factions and units. Would add way more flavour if the ladders fit each faction Hell, with the Ghosts, All you'd have to do is delete the Ladders, and they just float up in the same line of the ladders but there's no ladder there.

[@TheRealKiRBEY]

It'd be really cool to have em like wave around and scream while climbig the walls

[@petersanten3294]

There actually is faction based ladders, at least from what I can guess. The lizard men have their own ladders, and if you look really closely at the 'default' ladders, they have little wax seals on them in the style of the empire, making me think that there are more ladder models that exist somewhere in the games models, or possibly where planned to be added in but never were aside from the lizardmen.

[@juhapekkaruusala9038]

Vampire coast has boarding hooks as ladders.

[@nonya1366]

Add in having to build the ladder, make it less fatiguing in turn [But still fatiguing nat] And have some units who don't need ladders. Units who can just scale the walls [gutter runners, ghosts, etc, skaven in general.] effectively, and in general look back toward Warhammer: Battle march for ideas. [Duels between lords/heroes maybe?] I'm biased granted, I love Battle march a lot. I'd wager they did sieges better.

[@zacharyjackson1829]

I would be all for it but we wont get that or faction towers. CA has data that tells them most people auto resolve a majority of battles so why make a decision that ultimately wont earn them that much favor? you could argue that if they actually put in some effort to make their siege battles enjoyable then the ladders are part of that and i do agree with that but Im not the CA upper management that has to approve paying artists to do that.

I've always had a weird soft spot for Kemmler, and I'm glad he's coming in for some love. Playing him is fun but I always fail to confederate with the Red Duke before he goes under, which is a pity because the Red Duke's armor is bitchin'.

[@JMarcus52]

In the mod, "Legion of Nagash" not only do you play as the faction of Nagash and obtain him as a legendary lord but some of the generic lords have insane traits. For example, one adds an additional 10% physical resistance to all spectral units, along with the added unit "Carrion Wraiths".. which are essentially what Carrions should have been in the first place. Legendary lords also have a red line which includes an additional 10% ward save to all Nagashizzar units (*spectral included*) at rank 7 or higher. Their 70% resistance to most attacks, tagged with an increase in speed and melee attack + charge bonus make using Nagash himself trivial. I find myself with 10+ generic lords all with the spectral buff trait running around conquering the map. Lots of fun, recommend the mod.

I'm about ten months late but for anyone curious: Ghosts not passing through city walls and gates is actually in the "lore".

[@HamTheBacon]

Also the ambush success chance is weird i know but iv noticed a few things about ambushing i believe is going on when all is said and done. First the ambush chance stated above your head when you go into ambush stance is your personal ambush level, i don’t look at it as a % but thats how its calculated. Lets use your 80% as an example, this is a combination of the regions base chance to ambush plus your army’s bonuses added. Now this isnt exactly the ambush % chance the game is going to use in the end. Because i have noticed its a lot harder to ambush a larger army than it is to ambush a smaller one. So i believe the army size you are attempting to ambush is important to what your end result ambush % chance to succeed. Certain units could potentially also affect these chances and we wouldn’t ever really know it. Im sure there is someone out there who knows how it truely works but in the end i completely agree it feels like the AI cheats in so many different ways.

If you think ab out it, Ghost armies are the ultimate soldiers in a fantasy setting: intangible, low maintenance, no need for supplies, unbreakable morale , can past through most obstacles, and can relentlessly attack any enemy in any position. Without magic no amount of swords, guns or nukes is gonna work so in a way they are a superweapon

[@DesevPostMortem]

You are correct, however the big weak point like in any vampires army is the ones who sustains the deads, be it the necromancers or vampires. If they got smashed or knocked out, it's the end of the army. In the fantasy setting what would happen if the assassin Snikch had a beef with Kemmler ? The Changeling surely have trick up his sleeves as well, or what if Kemmler contract a disease from Nurgle etc... There's plenty of ways for him to bite the dust in non conventionnal warfare tactics
