Warriors of Chaos & Wood Elf Garrisons

[Spectre]

Since out side of a Dark Fortress or a Giant Tree these 2 factions have garbage small Garrisons that can't really fight anything off can we get the Garrisons increased in size to make them some what able to defend themselves.

As for Warriors of Chaos since Norscans can occupy every where and the bulk of your Vassals will be Norscan Tribes can we have the option to gift any settlement to a Vassal of our choosing.

Also more Dark Fortress locations are needed in Lustria, The South Lands and even the South of the Empire since there isn't much down there it's just a void of nothing and having to recruit armies dozens of turns away to march them to the front lines is a massive time waste.

For me I have found that WoodElf outposts are only useful when I am in need of replenishment, near enemy regions, like if I sacked and came back, then gift it to an ally later, or demolish when I don't need it, if I choose.

Yeah Dark fortresses are scarce.. But is that because it is going by the warhammer lore?

[MrCrowley]

I see what you're saying and I don't have much knowledge of WH lore so I could be way off but it would seem like there would be less Dark Fortresses the further you got from the North/Chaos wastelands. But I guess the question is does that translate into a fun game experience.

Neither faction is supposed to "hold territory". At best, they use it as a staging ground or for keeping "unwanted elements" from taking it without your knowledge.

For Chaos, either coordinate your conquests so that a vassal has adjacent territory(so that you can gift it to them) or sack it/raze it, then give them an order to take it.

We do not need more Dark Fortresses. Some areas will be difficult to conquer because Chaos has no real presence there.

Wood Elves probably care about holding territory even less. For a tier 1 settlement, it is a minimal investment and a pretty decent garrison all things considered.

[Spectre]

Im not talking for Lore but to make the faction more playable because once you get out of the North you can no longer give settlements to Vassal as Chaos and trying to hold any territory outside of the big Trees as WE especially in Very Hard & Legendary just is a nightmare with how many people declare War on you and send armies from all over.

If they were sticking to lore Chaos would still be a Horde Faction they just need them to work something more like Beastmen build a Chaos Shrine have some sort of Sacrifice Ground to stop Factions re-colonising all day long.

I think it works OK for WoC but I admittedly have not gotten a campaign past turn 100 in a while.

If the Wood Elf garrison and settlement map has not been touched up in the latest patch I 100% agree on that point. I liked their garrisons in the last game as you could use your outlying territory to chip away at some dangerous units in attacking armies. In game 3 your defending units are near useless against a full stack of anything and your stalking units can not get past or behind the opponent because the map is too narrow making them also ineffective.
