Nerf the Dwarf AI

[Aurora]

Way too strong now, ♥♥♥♥♥ out too many good armies. Quarrelers seem to never run out of ammo.
Is this DLC powercreep? Makes the Chaos Dwarfs unplayable in comparison, takes way more effort to play them VS Dwarfs who get it all for free easily.

[Lucerne]

Ah yes. The most overpowered race in the game with one of the strongest lords in the game can't handle their comparatively weak purebearded cousins. Trying to farm jester awards?

Then please, tell us of your woes. How do you keep losing? Elaborate, please.

I just did a run on legendary. They are fine and decimate dawi. Just make sure you get fast units to push their flanks

[Aurora]

What if it's Realm of Chaos campaign?
It's Dawi from all sides, spamming top tier armies at me.
My economy can't wind up properly because I keep having to play Whack A mole.
I can only afford 2 armies ,maybe 1 good one.
Units like Taurus or Bale Taurus seem a waste of a slot, they always rout and barely get kills, what is their point? Disrupt quarrelers/artillery? I do that! They fail at it every time.
Only good unit is Blunderbuss, Bull Centaurs, and the various artillery pieces.

Enemy always sends a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of Trollhammer Torpedoes, Hammerers, Quarrelers, Thunderers, Grude Rakers and random RoRs.
It doesn't stop! I am done with one army, another pops up (or some stupid rogue army pops up). The garrison buildings are hot garbage.

I played Zhatan the Black on Immortal Empires fine, when they came out.

It depends on what difficulty you're playing on and whether or not you're using mods (especially AI mods), in that case.

[Aurora]

Its just ordertide. Wissenland&Nuln with 15 settlements , then masters of innovation with 18 , Kislev with 16 , cathay 15 , there's nothing I can do.
Wasted 8 hours on a campaign with ordertide coming outta nowhere.

I can't attack becausae I am constantly busy playing stupid whack a mole against AI harassing me all the time.
This is the case in most campaigns because it's always the same crap unless I pick hordes like Beastmen where I don't have to worry about large tracts of land.

[Ashley]

Don't play whack a mole. Pick a target and completely annihilate them while holding on to important territory. Rinse and repeat. Losing non vital territory is okay.

I dont use AI mods, I even use mods that disable the stupid anti player bias.
But the order faction always grow to obscene sizes and my allies are useless.
I only can afford 2 or 3 armies and the enemy keeps swarming me with theirs.

Elspeth level 50 with 4 steam tanks and 3 land ships and elite infantry on her way to me, while Dwarfs are at my capital.
Early game was a slog because expanding in that area sucks. Going west triggers kislev/dwarfs, north has dwarfs too, south has Imrik/more dwarfs, east is off limits too many allies unless I try to kill the other chaos dwarfs early.

Somehow I didnt have these issues as Zhatan in Immortal Empires, his position was fairly defensible.

[Lucerne]

This is starting to sound more and more like a skill issue

[Zé Bonitinho]

nerf AI? are you for real? The AI is a joke for any faction

Seems like you need to "revisit" Chorfs (preferably Astragoth). The "comparatively weak purebearded cousins" are at this point easily the strongest race in the game, by far. Even when played by AI. Sure, you can still cheese them with slave & mortar spam, but it won't go as well as it used to, at all.

Zhatan has the luxury to decide what he wants to fight against. If you fear the order tide, expand north and north-east instead. Grimgor, Ogres, Kugath and Ghorst should fall fairly easily. Afterwards, grind down Cathay. Meanwhile, hold the western borders with slave & mortar spam.

Blunderbusses are still a thing and Drazhoath is still very much in the game. What the ♥♥♥♥ are you talking about? CD are still the easiest race in the game.
