Nurgle is completly bugged and yet no hotfix

[Kaschperle]

Currently nurgles "slaves" infection is capped at 37 max which is a horrendous and easy typo bug to be fixed but yet hasn't been patched.

Now I encountered a lovely bug which says I require 200 plague points but--- it says I have 216 but in reality I have 500+ Gotta love that game breaking bug where I cant use the nurgle mechanics

nurgle has quite a few bugs right now. the capped infections are just one of many. chaos lords can't transform into demon princes, one of the tamurkhan heroes nerfs some of his units with his traits, with epidemius you can get the negative effects of plagues on your armies, some hero traits don't work at all ect.

Yep same bug, how could they have miss this in QA ....

[Puppet Pal Clem]

are you using mods?

nurgle 10/100+ corruption cult gives gold but not the infections.

Also plague cultists spawned with a plague have absolute base movement range.

I have not experienced the other bugs you mention playing vanilla, 37 infections is a bit low and does force you to make careful decisions which i like but it snowballs pretty fast.

"Completely bugged" is a stretch. The 37-cap is annoying but it doesn't make the faction unplayable.

if their main gimmick mechanic doesnt work it is a broken faction.

It's as if you drive a car and you can drive up to 50kmh yet can't go higher this is considered broken. Apparently your quality standard is of someone who likes being ripped off or like half assed releases of PAID DLC'S

as you might haven't read I am litterally bugged out of even doing plagues lmao

You can get 5/10/15 infestation per turn per building. It's far from being broken. It's annoying at best.

Ooh look a personnal attack, uh ? Whatever...

go dig your own grave deeper.

>>You can get 5/10/15 infestation per turn per building. It's far from being broken. It's annoying at best.

You spend infections to build military buildings, speed up rotations, create plagues, send out cultists to target armies, extend plagues duration, to reduce immunity to plagures, increase chance of spread.

As it stands, it runs a freight train through all of the mechanics that they added so you spend all you time staring at stuff you cannot do, which was always Nurgle's problem pre.5.0 and is still his problem. It is not a small bug, it is a game changing bug.

I'm on the 5.0 campaign and don't seem to have any problem?

T3 control building even gives 25 infections / turn.
So obviously you want this and the gold building in every settlement.

Which is why i said : no the faction is not broken, the cap of 37 from battle is annoying but doesn't break the faction.

I have a turn 35-40 ish tamerkhan campaign going, vh, and I am rolling in infections with just the buildings alone.

Exaggerating problems is no more helpful than trivializing them. The 50 mph simile is apt. When one says the car doesn't run at all, and the other says it's fine, neither is right. The reality is, Nurgle is perfectly playable, but one faction effect (at least) doesn't work right.

Now for clarity: What is bugged is the post-battle result where you choose what to do with captives. The choice where you use them for infections is capped at 37, which is a bit on the low side and probably unintended.

If this is a problem for you, this mod fixes it until CA gets around to it.

Note that I don't use the mod myself; when you can get 3k infections in a single battle, that's WAY too much for balance. If the choice is way too much or too little, I prefer too little.
