chaos dwarfs are broken when played by ai in campaign

[Ion Piston]

like why do they have an artillery unit that even when i run 3 star dragons at it i still cant kill it before it decimated half my army. like how is this balanced in any way and then they also have lords and hero who have ridiculous amounts of armour and resistances combined with the small model is almost impossible to kill with ranged units

Chaos dwarfs are masters of ranged destruction, which is unique than other chaos factions. However, I played Kislev and so I have not had any problems against chaos dwarfs, the most important thing is to determine your army composition against who is ranged and artillery expert, it is better to make separate formations and a vanguard companies.

If you mean the Dreadquake? It's a slow as can be ranged mortar. Most if not all infantry can dodge the projectile

I think they're nerfing chorf artillery this next patch. But yes, chaos dwarfs are a bit on the strong side. Just finished their campaign on legendary and I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say that I auto-resolved 90% of my battles with either decisive or close victories, even against two stacks at once. I would have preferred it if the game had forced me to fight more battles manually, would have been more fun.

They have some really strong units but the AI should be pretty limited by unit caps. I honestly would worry less about their units which you can actually kill than some of their VERY strong army abilities that can destroy your infantry even if you are facing a lv 1 lord leading a slave stack.

They are the latest released race so they are OP as per usual. They in turn will be weak compared to the new factions though. There might be a nerf but would not hope too much on it. Resources are spread thinly by the looks of things and any extra measures would most likely focus on 4.0 and the DLC rather than Chaos Dwarfs. If we are lucky they might do some balance changes in 4.1 and then we probably wont see anything else untill 5.0 3-6 months later.

yeah they have loads of broken crap, just auto resolve 100% chaos dwarf fights as it is just broken cheese trying to make sales, at the end of a small settlement battle when the majority of the enemy army was 3% hp/dead and routing i lost a hellpit abomination to t1 archers within 20seconds of taking my camera off it, it had caught the t1 archers and was killing them in melee combat at full HP(12,000hp), some how magically it was just dead in such a short space of time with 0 threats around it. probably some giga cheese army ability or something because it was impossible to lose it legitimately in that situation.

you could force *yourself* to fight the battles manually, just an idea

Having just finished a chorf campaign....yeah, dreadquake mortars are ridiculous. With two dreadquakes and two hellcannons almost every battle is 4 of my units just destroying the entire other army before it even reaches the other 16 who mop up whatever little is left.

That defeats the entire purpose of playing on the hardest difficulty. Battles should be fought to minimize casualties, not for the spectacle of it.

chaos dwarf ai are broken in a way that by building their defensive building they alway end up nuking themselves like bearded skaven, just send one guy and look at em nuking their own blob glorious
