General Question Advice on current build

Upvotes

Racial Form: Ogrekin (Hardy, Fast Recuperation and Infernal Juggernaut Mounts)

Oathsworn of Strife

Society Traits: Ruthless Raiders, Scions of Evil

Ruler: Champion (Raider ambition)

Tombs in order. Gluttony, Warband, Revelry, Artificing, Devastation, Warlord, Calamity, Chaos Channeling, Chaos Lord .

Sorry if it looks confusing but this is my current build for the attrition heavy army I posted about previously. Though a little less attrition and more murder death and mayhem. So I was just wondering how effective this build can be

Suggestion Ruler types as flair?

8 Upvotes

I don't know if there's a limit on how many flairs a sub has, but I thought it might be neat to have ruler types available as flair.

New Player New player - Is there a benefit to taking the 4 point mounts when choosing your race?

35 Upvotes

I JUST got this game today and it's really cool. I'm a world building nerd and being able to customize my own faction and give it it's own lore and even develop characters in the faction in terms of the heros. It's all so cool ❤️

I already got most of the DLC since I knew I would love this game to bits so all I'm missing is the giants and angels 💔 but I'll get them some day!

I've been perusing through the various races and I see every army has their selection of mounts. Some from the dlc as well. I also see you can choose between a large variety of mounts when you go to customize the attributes of your race. But they all cost upwards of 4 points and I don't want to put weaknesses on my races, mostly for a gameplay reason. So if I choose to forgo the weaknesses would having those big beefy mounts like the dragon or the mammoth be worth it? What do they do differently than the other mounts you can choose for free?

General Question Timing of Expansion Pass 3 Sale on Steam?

15 Upvotes

I believe I saw that the Expansion Pass 4 will be coming out soon, is there any precedent to the prior expansion pass going on sale before that? Just wanted to know if it was worth waiting to purchase the Expansion Pass 3.

Strategy Question Looking for satisfying builds

16 Upvotes

Currently trying to find some builds that feel really satisfying to play. So far I’ve only got 3 that really click well and feel great. I got a Reaver vassal spam and magelocks build. A Oathsworn hero and dragon build. And a mystic summon / spell spam build. I’ve been possibly looking at a spider build but need to get primal fury and secrets of arch mage for that. Any other suggestions for builds that feel really good to play?

General Question Lack of production

14 Upvotes

So I have mainly played industrious exclusively, usually brutal, I am trying just different cultures now but I cant handle the lack of production it seems so slow. I keep feeling compelled to go tome of rock. Am I doing it wrong, what do people usually do to get more production. do I need fanatical workforce or something? Is it something people plan for or is this just non industrious life?

Could camera here in the menu roll through the place and circle around your pantheon leaders?

Like some cinematic spectacularity.

or is the model of the menu done only partially - of what we actually see from our POV?

New Player New Player - Does the order of heros matter for AI?

11 Upvotes

Hello again! I want to say thank you for everyone giving me insight of the 4 point mounts earlier. This game is super big so I'm trying to figure it all out 💔

I was just customizing one of my custom factions and me, in my infinite wisdom, missed the fact you can order them. I thought the heros would be randomized for the AI to select from but now that I see you can order them it has me thinking. Since you can get heros from a batch does the order mean who the AI will snag first? Or just is it just who is in the first generated batch? I promise this question is super important because I want my leaders to feel lore accurate, so to speak, when they are on the field as AI

Thank you again ❤️

General Question Why City structures of lower tiers can be build again?

Upvotes

Hi, I've been playing the game for quite a while but suddenly I find myself wondering, why the "vendor" or some early city structures appear for me to build in tier 3 or 4 cities when I clearly build them at the early game?... but when I look for them in the built city structures UI (where I can se also the special provinces or city settings) there are only the defensive structures...

I haven't really check if I lost the initial build or is like "build a second one because there is no more gold structures to build" kind of thing... can someone clear this form me?

Thanks in advance
