      I had ghorst being without any settlement, jsut his army and he kept attacking one of my settlements. I autoresolved it because I didnt want to be bothered and killed him 3 times. 4th time there were so many corpses in that province that he raised like 3 terrorgheists 2 bloodknights etc and I just lost xd then I had to move one of my armies for good 5 turns back to where he was so that I could deal with him properly.

    one thing i really hate is the fact that AI factions can besiege with minimal forces and prevent you from replenishing, like over the end turn if someone besieges you it should give you an option to sally out right there and initiate the battle, that way if you win you actually replenish troops when its your turn rather than just being fucked

      to be fair, ghorst has a TON of bonuses for the dead rise again. Here he is lvl 43 so most bonuses should be unlocked. Yes it's super annoying, but you, as the player, get the same bonuses. Not from turn one obviously but around turn 40-50 you have entire armies of juiced up rank 9 zombies with some corpse carts resurrecting after defeats. It's quite fun as the player.

      Could also look into limiting the number of rez at a given location like the unit dies twice in the same round, they are dead for good. Or change it to "raise the fallen" enemies which means you can only rez units depending on what you killed in the enemy army (you get units of similar quality/tier) instead of raising your own army that died thrice in a row.
      The current mechanic is thematic but I believe it limits CA's balancing capabilities. They always have to consider this possibility before making units/regen/spells stronger.

    Vampire counts doing this, is the same energy as (in Rome 2 onwards titles) an almost dead army (possibly taking attrition) besieging a settlement and not attacking because the AI doesn't believe they can win. So the town/city stops construction, possibly looses public order and looses taxes.

    It could be way worse.
    In my current Astagoth legendary campaign I took out the Lahmian sisterhood west of him, but their last lord fled before I could catch him.
    He spent the next few turns going around doing nothing and taking massive attrition damage. Then just before he died he headed to one of my undefended settlements in the middle of my empire.
    By this point he had 10 units with about 10 percent health remaining for each..
    I saw it, recruited a lord and 5 regiments of renown just to be sure. Thought it was a done deal.
    On the end turn, he attacked, and sure enough it was a decisive victory in auto resolve so I autoed.
    The problem? He revived immediately with ALL OF HIS HIGH TIER UNITS in half health, and HAVING RECRUITED AN ENTIRE 20 STACK WORTH OF OTHER HIGH TIER UNITS!
    He Attacked again on that same end turn and this time it was a decisive defeat for me and the loss of the settlement!

    Reviving units after a battle seems incredibly thematic for VC, but the issue is randomness. It completely takes away agency from the player and leaves everything to a roll of the dice, and rewards stacking crap units because you can't reliably revive units that you want. Some kind of targeted revive mechanic based on winds of magic strength in the region would be more interactive and easier to balance.

      @@lylemata6672 I like this. Have winds of magic in the region set a base amount you can revive. Then make the amount of vampiric corruption act as a multiplier (more corruption, more revive points, other corruptions or untainted are negative multiplier). Then when you revive, you basically drain winds of magic from the region.
      I would also allow revive even after you lose a battle, as it is thematic and opens up possibilities for roleplay and strategy. Basically you whittle down your enemies through multiple battles with hordes of units.
      This system would force you to balance between reviving your units and saving winds of magic in the area for spells during combat. If balanced correctly, this would also allow you to choose if you want to swarm with hordes or go aggressive with 1 or 2 strong units as you know that you can revive them after the battle.

    In my Drazoath campaign Ghorst became my biggest enemy, even greater than Grimgor because of exactly this. It took me about 40 turns (as I had other problems and just held him at the border for a while) and eventually two extremely high tier armament buffed armies to finally wipe him out.

      Main thing they should debuff is how MUCH hp they gain back over their turn and over the end turn. If they just pop back to 1-10% hp and then take attrition from not being in Vampiric territory, well they aren't a threat, but if they pop back to 50%+ it just pops from a minor annoyance to an actual game ending threat at times.

    The vampire resurrection ability should be based on how many mortal enemies they kill during a battle. For example, say they kill a unit of your spearman and a sun dragon they should be able to summon a unit of zombified spearman and a zombie sun dragon. However, they should not just magically resurrect units that were obliterated in a battle that would be very fair because in a battle like this one where they got wrecked, they wouldn’t be able to resurrect basically anyone.

    There is an easy way to fix this, on CA's part.
    If "The Dead Rise Again" could ONLY trigger on a VC victory, not on a defeat, this would no longer be a problem. For the player, it would allow you to keep trucking on, and if its the AI they can no longer cheat and have invincible armies just by losing.

      In theory after beating a vampire faction you'd destroy the corpses so they couldn't raise them again, so they couldn't raise much.

    I can recall one instance when playing Lokhir, some vampire count rebels were attacking my settlement for 20 CONSECUTIVE turns - I was winning every time, just wanted to check how ridiculous it can get XD

  • @pocket_sand6645
    @pocket_sand6645 Před rokem +6

    Not gonna lie, i absolutely hate the new "dead rise again" mechanic. It requires 0 skill, doesnt really benefit the player, but makes battles vs VC AI incredibly tedious, as they would just resurrect all their army after battle, and god forbid they were the attacker, because then you gonna battle against pretty much 100% replenished troops again (by the way, if you managed to wipe some of their troops, VC's would just reanimate some shit to fill the gap). And Ghorst is not only a killing machine at low levels, but once he gets the access to unique line with zombie buffs, you gonna have a really bad time, especially as melee-focused faction.
    It's just bullshit, and reminds me of Necropolis in heroes 3, where if Necro player survives till late game (or assembles the cloak of "balanced" king), then you are fucked

  • @SirNoot
    @SirNoot Před rokem +2

    Man just got a very similar situation, only Ghorst with a normal stack and another stack with 15 Terrorgheists... went for a ambush autoresolve on the Terrorgheist stack, 90% resurrected, retreated into settlement and was immediately back on 100% hp, my army on 10% due to corruption attrition. AI Terrorgheist doomstack, fml.
    The ratio of resurrection is completely re-diculous. Love it the idea but the amount is just frustrating..

    I recently had this issue too, nightmarish early game with kugath. It was before chaos dwarf release. Very difficult to win a battle against Helman with kugath army, his multiple altar units are just un killable if they stack, they regen each other faster than you kill them, even with kugath + 1 hero on them, kugath army has 000000 pierce armor, doomed situation. Had to restart the campaign 2 times

    This is a great showcase of why there should be a mechanic allowing the defender to sally out the moment they get besieged instead of being crippled over their end turn. "Oh, there is an army of 2000 inside a fortress, that is mustering even more troops? Oh I know, I will lay siege to them with my 1 dude and stop them from recruiting anything and pause any construction in the settlement."

    • @axelmuller7946
      @axelmuller7946 Před rokem

      I have the same man. Attacked them with 2 forces, Astragoth and a random lord and managed to defeat them at Drakenhof and Templehof pushing them all the way back to Wurtbad. Well, now I'm stuck at Averheim defending hords of Vampires. They have like 10 forces at Wurtbad and Kemmler is sending another 5 there too. So no way I can attack considering their broken reviving mechanic and massive armies. Even if I take Wurtbad, they'll defeat me over the end turn and retake it. So I just have to wait for a mistake on their end

  • @albericdecarrere8436
    @albericdecarrere8436 Před rokem

    An easy fix for this bullshit would be to cap the number of units based on the level of corruption instead of just probabilities.
    Between 0-25 corruption you can get up to 5 units back, chosen at random
    25-50 you can get up to 10 units
    Same until you reach 100 where you can revive the entire army
    Another alternative (that can be applied at the same time as my previous idea) : make it so that you have to spend dark magic to revive a unit, kind of like the seducing mechanic for Slaanesh but as a post battle option and for your army. You could maybe have the option to pay more to revive the units with more health.
    Or a very quick fix that doesn't require much, cap the health of revived units at like 10 or 20% and prevent them from replenishing for a full turn or 2 (lore explanation " the caster already had to revive his army from the dead, he probably doesnt have much reserve left to bring it back to full strength immediately)

  • @scarletcroc3821
    @scarletcroc3821 Před rokem

    Situations like these are what is dragging down my enjoyment by a lot. If there’s a major VC faction nearby I usually don’t bother with those campaigns. You can fight battles where you barely win, but the lord is out of your reach so you have to end turn. Then during their turn they can recruit elite tier units because of the battle you just fought and barely won and you probably stand no chance of beating them. It really needs to get toned down
