New Chaos Invasion Spawn Point?

[bill.stevens]

I'm well into my first campaign with the new "legendary" chaos invasion setting, and I'm starting to get a bit worried about where they're going to pop up. Has there been any changes to their spawn locations? (Playing High Elves, have most of Ulthuan and Dark Elf lands under my control).

No. They still spawn on the upper right side of the whole map. The only thing that changes is how many armies that spawn.

I was playing DE and I had several stacks spawn from a Hard Chaos Invasion from the NE of the map. They took out the AI controlled cities beyond the wall, which is north of Naggarond and then they started coming south. I'd guess you'll need a few armies in that area as any stack that gets past will just destroy any town is comes across.

This is not entirely correct.
The spawnpoints have been largely removed, only the chaos wastes spawnpoints has remained but on top of that chaos now also spawns the whole north of naggarond.

Since OP clearly stated he controls naggarond, the chaos wastes are much less important for him.

@OP the spawn points north of Ulthuan and between araby/lustria are gone for good though.

I'm guessing a legendary chaos invasion is gonna destroy the world though? What difficulty is the game on? can the AI handle this insanity?

Unfortunately that's hardly the case. Leg lategame chaos invasion is only 24 stacks in total iirc. Since it's happening between turn 140 and 160, the AI usually is very fortified to take that hit.

Chaos will raze some stuff but eventually dies quickly enough. Worse, AI (and player) only need to kill archaon, kholek and sigvald and all other stacks disappear.

No I'm not joking, this is the actual script.... -,-'

Naggaroth spawn does a lot of damage. Kislev spawn does some damage, but not always. With a little bit of preparation, the Kislev spawn can potentially deal a lot of damage.

It doesn't change anything still Easy to repel no matter what difficulty its either you wipe them or the AI does.
