Be'lakor Aggression Issues

[Gorm]

I've had a look around, and I haven't seen anyone else having these issues, so I don't know if I'm cursed or not.

But no matter who I play whether in single player or multiplayer, if I'm within arm's reach of him he focuses on me.

Wulfrik? Sure, ok, I'm his neighbour.

The French? ok sure, courenne is nearby and order tide-y.

Tyrion? Bottom of the donut is a weird place to start his campaign, but I guess I'm the main elf faction.

Alith Anar? Odd choice to start by sailing across the ocean to fight me, when you have pressing concerns like the French or wulfrik.

N'kari? Fing Sure, why not, my start isn't painful enough, why don't you also declare war on me?

If I start with anyone in that general area, within 15 turns he is always at war me and going straight for me, ignoring everything else. I've seen Leon Leouncur attacking his capital, and he was still sending his armies to attack me as n'kari.
The only way I've had any luck not being at war with be'lakor, is to not play any of the factions in that area.

Is anyone else having these aggression issues, or am I just cursed?

Is that really an issue ?
I mean, if he's gunning at you, then you can erase him in early game, which gives you both his LL's character trait, and xp ? (furthermore, if you already know in advance what's going to happen, why not taking advantage of it ?)

I had the opposite problem. Whenever I play as Be'lakor everyone hates me, especially the Elves on Ulthuan.

Yup.

I played Karl Franz and he always wanted me.

Played something close but totally different like Hellebrone, still wanted me only.

At least he left me alone as Queek.

Basically if he can kinda see you, he wants to muder you.

I guess it's the anti-player thingy doing it's thing.

HE's extremely aggressive towards the player indeed. My headcannon is that he's still pissed of what we did in RoC lol.

I love watching him sail into one of the rogue pirate armies and getting his ass kicked while he's on his world cruise to try and fight me. Anyway, I've noticed this too and just try to wipe him early before he becomes any sort of real threat. He usually only has the one city for most of the game.

Except one time I had come from Naggarond to find that he had apparently conquered all of Norsca and most of Kislev before I had made my way over that direction. That was interesting.

*Be'lakor, there's no 'e' on the end of it.

I know, it was typo.

In my N'kari playthrough I had an alliance with Be'lakor and no issues with him what so ever - so I'm guessing you're just cursed :D.

Easy there kid, I was just trying to help.

I thought English might have been second language for you, and was just pointing out your error. I've found that people who are actively learning a language generally appreciate correction.
Turns out you're just a sloppy know-it-all. My mistake.

Generally, pointing out other people's grammar or spelling mistakes or even easy typos makes you look like a prick. Especially mistakes over things like the spelling of "Bel'lakor", because, well, look at it.

You could have just ignored it, because it's quite obvious to everyone what that person was talking about.

Speaking as an American of course.
