As Clan Skyre (ME) Should I Kill Beastmen?

[Zeon]

I've been playing as Ikit in mortal empires & was wondering what people's thoughts were on what should be done with Beastmen? They seem to be natural allies but I'm unsure about their long term motives/If I declare war on them & destroy them will they respawn later still at war with me?

Thoughts?

[Dr_Kira]

you probably mean in mortal empires right ? Tbh I kept friendly terms with them and they just died overtime to others anyways, you got enough ennemies as it is around you let the beastment kill themselves weakening your targets :)

[RCMidas]

They respawn, but not at war with you. They'll probably not be too happy, and remember the fact that you declared war on them, but by the time they show up again, you should be well established and don't need to worry about it.

I ally with them and throw them at the stinking elf things

[Vanidas]

They eat Estalia and prevent Ikit Claw from leveling up properly. The second I eat the man-things at Tobaro, I kill that stupid beastmen stack led by Ghorros and wait for Khazrak to either commit suicide somewhere else or walk straight into my ambush and give me free food. By turn 30 reliability was very high again, nobody seemed to care and I was able to fully extort the surrounding factions for massive sums to help build my under-empire.

Beastmen tend to be pretty bad friends. Even with non-aggression pacts they might decide they ave nothing better to do than to raid you until you get tired of their ♥♥♥♥ and slaughter them.
That said, for Ikit's case, the most likely scenario is they just run up into Brettonnia and die to some random peasant mob.

No. Because they beat up Esteilia quite good so you have an easy expansion.
Often they just suicide into the next best fraction for no reason[or as Empire, they just run thru everyone and beat you up. quite{not} fun]

[Migromul]

I did. Every fight gives food and experience. And you can get estalia anyway sooner or later. You should do that, before Telia declares war to you, though, or you have a 2-front-situation... (I was too passive the first time, I tried, and got exact that problem...) Now Telia is food as well and I have a surprisingly stable military ally with the Flat-Noses (I don't know the exact english name for the north orcs: "Plattnasen")

they will raze your undercities so yes kill them

[Rockhearth]

wait untill they are weakened from fighting Tilballi. If they go into brettonia leave them if they stick around kill them.

[Toaster Maximus]

Alley with them and watch them rampage and get wiped out early on, then go in and pick up the pieces. Its what I am doing

This. Regardless of anything else, any faction prone to razing settlements is an enemy to the Skaven now. The Under-Empire needs to spread, any threat to that spread must be erased.

They died out before turn 10 to carcasone in my campaign. Then I killed off carcasone, and then all the wood elf factions declared war on me.

[Zeon]

I decided to tolerate them for the time being, and immediately take out Telia. Essentially using the Beastmen to soften up/hold Estalia at bay till I was ready to mop them up. Might end up killing them on sight since they just love to spawn in my lands and linger spreading corruption, not to mention the casual raiding XD.
