Empire is still broken and completely impossible

[Astraeos]

18 turns into a Normal/Normal Franz campaign and I have literally one Elector Count left, Middenland. Every single other Elector Count has either been destroyed by Greenskins, Vampires, Festus, or Wood Elves. I have -8 Imperial Authority and the campaign is totally ruined.

There is literally no possible way that you can build up enough armies within 18 turns to be in 5 different places at once, defending every single Elector Count.

This system needs a complete rework. Completely remove the Authority system at this point. I'm fine with all the Elector Counts being wiped within 15 turns, but massively punishing the player for this is just stupid, un-fun, unbalanced, and basically broken.

its a khorne lord with its mechanic based around getting bonus xp
yea it will reach its cap faster
still a sad girl at that cap but it will get to peak sadness fast

I tried an Empire campaign (Karl Franz) post 2.2 update and I can't see where you would go with it to be honest. Festus and Vlad are both coming at you from different directions and both spread corruption at the same time. You can support one and a half stacks at best and there's no way to fend them off and also go on the counteroffensive. That's without mentioning any of the other opponents that get involved.

Ah the usual game too hard for me so game unplayable

That's far too simplistic an outlook.

Faster, I know but it was strangely fast on this run. Grond and hellebron fought well or gave little chances to fight her as I saw. Anyway, as I said in here and other post, Mal and Karl must be dependent on randomness of friendly factions. But negative potential values are set to friendly factions. More sadness are waiting for player factions. Diplomatic advantage to be surrounded by enemy of friends while all friends die early.

hmmm i havent seen the elcetors going down fast in my campaign :/ veryhard/normal
i did turn mariopol to nordland maby that helped dunno...

[chickabumpbump]

There must be issues with Bret and Empire?

How many threads do we see about Karl and how little fun they are to play as, the count system being uninteresting and how easily the counts go down.

I havent played many full campaigns since Empires came out, maybe 3 and I got bored around turn 150 ish but in every one, the Empire and the Bretonnian factions ALL were wiped out quickly.

Is modding the authority out more fun?

Empire is a lot of rng. 1-2 months ago when I played karl normally I've had Grom knocking on Helmgart with 1 and half stack orc army+ waagh army on turn 10 or so, and lost it when missile trroops ran out of ammunition. Then the orc in the mountains next to marineburg randomly underwayed to Eilhard and razed it. Hockland and middenland was wiped out by festus and kazrak inside 10 turns. So yea, sometimes RNG can really screw you around for all the enemies in every direction. Though it is certianly not unwinnable, just be patient, build a good solid composition of troops to win battles, save up money for armies and crawl your way back even if rng screws you over.

to be honest my broblem with authority is not the debuff because i have never had it :/ its the fact you have nothing to spend it on after getting most of empire under control QQ

With most threads like this, I find the complaints are ultimately based in an intolerance to losing and just taking the L with dignity and adapting with a new strategy. There is a lot of fun (and increase in basic mental and emotional fortitude) in the challenge of these simple adversities if you use them as opportunities to grow rather than complain and throw your hands up in despair.

Another "polite" Gitgud. Very disgusting thanks for your trolling.
I think you are the one who need to learn by adapting and listening to reality. You think people who played thousands hours and tens of runs with same factions through years are just complaining because they don't know how to learn, tolerate and adapt?

I heard Americans are usually polite because they have guns but it looks like there are too many impolite bonehead English speakers. All Eng speakers are not American but it's very funny to see Eng based forums like this STEAM FORUM. People here really loves Gitgud ing in every game forum. It's very interesting.

If you are right then every people complaining about settlement battle issues and broken mechanics like ladder bugs are all dumbass who don't know how to tolerate and learn something, right?

Yes, 100%, being unable to adapt to a new way when you have already learned it another way is one of the common issues in pretty much any situation. There is even a common idiom around it (said idiom being "you can't teach an old dog new tricks").

I agree as I have done this before, I have lost a major city or an army early and just gone " ah F it , its all downhill from here "

What a sophistry.
If you are so confident, why didn't you copy the lines saying settlement battle issues people are complaining? Your answer is THE world best answer for every claims, complains and questions, etc, isn't it? Because you don't have to comment on anything but just complaining on complains "You are mindless and childish and that's all". What a perfect answer for every situations.
