+75 AP?!? That thing really could cut through a tank.

Is that a generic item or is it one of the legendaries I haven't seen?

[Sindain]

I got that from a skull island battle. Really awesome weapon. Not sure if you can get it anyway else.

Generic item, blue quality, and weapon slot.


The Wind Blast is really more useful given the Breaths of the VC don't do too much damage to anything with decent armor.

I got it by kicking Tyrion's shit in early on.


Then he went and got Sunfang, the asshole.


Dunno how he got it, was busy killing Caledorians.

AI don't do quest battles. Once they hit the proper level they automatically gain their quest items.

Ah, I was busy killing Caldorians, I don't know how Tyrion got the animu katana.


But I mugged it from him!


(He spent the entire battle killing two Zombie Handgun Mobs by himself while the rest of my army crushed his)

Welcome to the wonderful world of tarpits.

Works great on lords and heroes with no AOE killing power whatsoever. Is more or less useless against guys who can uhh... walk over them.

It's also why I really don't like melee-focused lords who never get good mounts. What exactly is Tyrion going to do when he's surrounded by zombies? Maybe that's why he became such an edgelord in the end times. Couldn't handle being manhandled by the worst units in the game.

Man, I'm fighting the wood elves for the first time as Kemmler, they are kinda scary.  The forest causes attrition no matter how vampiric I make it, they have lots of armies, and each time I fight them they have 37 billion arrows flying through the air.

I've managed to take two cities so far though.  I'm kind of hoping that puts a dent in the amount of armies they can field.

Yeah, welcome to Warhammer Vietnam.

VC are really good at dealing with them though. They can generate free units inside there and they have lots of fast moving units to catch the buggers.

I always neglect my cavalry.      

Raising dead after each battle is the only thing keeping me going (and raiding my own territory as I take it so my guys can heal).  I don't know how other races would handle it.

Very very slowly. I went through a period of treating the WElves as my main enemy in the mid-game because of how wonky they were when they first got added to WH1 and it was generally a case of entering with overwhelming power, smashing a city and then leaving and circling around to another angle to attack more cities without having to face the attrition until hitting the point where they couldn't muster enough units to stop your moth eaten forces finishing them off. Took ages and was frankly not worth it since all it did was leave smoking ruins for 30+ turns of work.

WH2 made it a lot easier since you can occupy Athel Loren even though it's pretty terrible. If you take the Oak you get immunity to AL attrition (think that's still the case, been a while since I played in the area,) so that's generally my second target now. 2 or 3 stacks rush King's Glade, camp there and then slowly raid shuffle up to the OoA and try to snag it, then pick off the WElves cities as desired. Works best as Vampires, but I've made it work as Brettonnia, Tilea (mods), Skarsnik, Lothern and Clan Angrund.

The attrition is the biggest issue, but WElves are also just kind of a pain in the ass to fight most of the time.

I have fallen in love with Tretcht and the skaven in general. They are so fun.

Gasp, TW:W2 has made it's way to mac and at $30 no less... is it worth the price tag? I enjoyed the first one... but mostly with the addition of a lot of mods.

TW:W2 is just an improved version of the first. Drastically improved.

I think it's worth it. Also all the mod makers migrated over to W2 too.

This.

Also now I'm playing a Vlad/Isabella game and I managed to force Mannfred to confederate and I'm being suspiciously polite and generous for psychotic blood hungry soulless monsters. I'm allied to Karak Kadrin and Zhufbar, and I'm only at war with Stirland and the orc tribes that are gobbling up Kadrin. I'm trying to grab dat third Blood Knight for infinite power freedom from corruption so I can be a travelling army of chivalrous monsters and undead cavalry, swooping in to save Order races at random. And also to march Mannfred to Naggarond and have an epic Magic Knight on Dragon fight with Malekith.

Still haven’t tried the new bloodline systems. Cool that there’s many ways to circumvent the attrition now though.
