What's up with Morathi in ME?

[Invisible]

I usally play the old world races in ME. Everytime I send a scouting Hero to Ulthuan it's owend by Morathi. HE seems unable to fight her. Auto resolve problems of HE?

In my campaigns, Morathi launches all-out assaults on Ulthuan early on. Sometimes she prevails - especially if Dark Elves confederate early - sometimes she loses catastrophically and is conquered in return. I've seen Eataine, and sometimes Cothique and Ellyrion conquer the western continent all the way up to Malekith. From my experience the HE do not seem to be disadvantaged in auto resolve (nor in any other manner).

If you do not like the results the campaign AI creates, you could try this mod here; it lets you artificially strengthen or weaken any AI faction:

No, it's ok. No mod needed.

It was just an observation over multiple ME campaigns. Usually Malekith is the bad boy, but after the last patch Morathi seems the dark elf powerhouse and confederates with naggarond very early. After that she seems unstoppable by the HE AI. Too much infighting I guess.

Malus often drags Malekith into fights he lacks the resources to deal with at that moment. That stalls him for quite a while.

The big thing causing it though, is that Alith Anar seems myopically fixated on going after Clar Karond, Karond Car, Forgebound, and even Deadwood Sentinels, to the point of ignoring morathi as she takes everything from behind him, giving her the spread she needs to fund her invasions.

Well firslty the map is very limited in terms of settlement if it had more it would slow her down, she is able to mop up her starting region ,then pretty much go straight towards ulthaun, maybe she is killing Alith Anar easily aswell due to gank,(ALith Anar flow goes up), her items also unlock very early which I 'am sure the stat one is impacting her auto resolve. I have actually fought morathi both around level 8 with Tyrion and is just not fair she gets all her items by 6 or whatever.

What CA can do is split her capital settlement from the initial starting settlements(make those three a seperate province and add two new settlements to her starting area which would slow her down, secondly giving Alith Anar an additional settlement in his starting province would also be beneficial.

and to items I think CA need to standardize all items for every LL so that they come at the same time, if some lords have more items then it just continues for those lords, so like level 5-10-15-20 or something like this lords get items.

Yea Ai Alith Anar is stupid as hell, he often lose his capital and get stomped then.

If comes down to morathi vs nagaryth in the early game in my experience. Whoever wins the early match up usually dominates the whole side of the map. If morathi wins she bee lines uthuan.
