The Huntmarshal's Expedition bug?

[Zepperz]

Started a game as the Expedition, everything has been going well even though I'm surrounded by enemies and my only real ally is the small empire faction above me. However I recently reached max hostility with the lizardmen and it spawned a 20 stack army near one of my cities, I'm wondering how this happened as I've only been warring with the Blue Vipers (Greenskins)

Is this a bug or something? Why would my war with the Blue Vipers (an enemy of the lizardmen) increase lizardman hostility towards me?

You reached max hostility

Theres the answer

Hi Zepperz,

no, it's not a bug. Whenever you reach max hostility this stack will be spawned.

Have a good hunt!

Thanks for the replies lol

I'd be fine with the hostility increase if I was attacking lizardman armies and cities but I'm not. I'm attacking greenskins.

Just wondering why the Lizardmen get angry with me for attacking greenskins, as I previously said

[Inardesco]

The lizardmen are simply angry for you being there.

It's just Wulfhart's campaign mechanic. Like how chaos turns up out of nowhere whenever you do a ritual as the vortex race factions.

The best in-game explanation I can think of is that even though Markus may not be directly attacking the lizards, his military actions are drawing his presence in the jungles to their attention. Sort of like how wood elves wouldn't exactly be happy with an empire expedition in their woods even if they were only hunting beastmen.

Ah alright, that's a fine answer. I suppose its something I'll just need to deal with.

Thanks
