Beastmen LL Bought with dread wont get their Unique Items

[eS :P Ron ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Swanson]

So Ive been cruising with a Taurox campaign for a bit, and bought Morghur and Malagor with dread, and their unique item quest boxes are ticked like the ai unlocked them already, but the quest battles nor the items are anywhere. Anyone else having this issue?

[Niinix]

They all seem to be working fine in my Taurox campaign with Malagor having already grabbed his icons, Khazrak grabbed his weapon already and the quest for his armor is waiting for me to move to Ostland along with Morghur and his Staff over in Gisoreux. Have you checked their inventories? Its pretty likely they already grabbed their items depending on how long they were left before you purchased them.

[eS :P Ron ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Swanson]

Yeah theyre not in the inventory thats the issue, the quest is ticked on their character screen but they have no item in their inventory, and no battle to do, apon looking this issue up it seems im not the only one, and that the dreaded CA confederation unique item bug is back -_-

[RED /(Weber)\]

I had this issue, but only for Malagor. Everyone else had their unique items.

[eS :P Ron ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Swanson]

yeah it doesnt seem to be consistant, based on what ive read some people are getting some items for some of their lords but not all of them, others like me have gotten none.

This issue just popped up for me when I confederated Taurox in my Malagor campaign. The box is checked but I don't have the quest and they aren't showing up in the inventory. I would love to be able to get Taurox's axes.

What level are your unlocked LL? They still have to reach the appropriate level to unlock the quest even if it's ticked, no?

[Tsarouhi]

Taurox was level 10 when I confederated him. My understanding was that the box couldn't be ticked if he wasn't the correct level but I could definitely be missing something.

Was so disappointed by buying a legendary lord with dread if only to realize it was actually a confederation and I have one lord way off and half the map away. Especially with a hard cap on number of armies that Beastmen have now.

Have EXACTLY the same problem playing Malagor.
Having spent 1200 Dread to get Taurox, quest is ticked (recruited at rank 9 and some spectacularly poor skill choices by the AI, LOL), no Axes to select, no way of doing whatever the quest requirements are. Nothing.

This update seems to have all sorts of quality control failures, somewhat typical of CA. Hell, I didn't buy a TW game from the disgrace on launch that was Empire until Warhammer 1 came along as I'd got SO sick of their garbage quality assurance record.

Finding the 'Dread' counter either is inaccurate, too, or just plain broken. It's never said anything about earning Dread from razing settlements no matter when/where, for example.
Also doesn't seem to report Dread you've earned from a battle where you were attacked by the AI. While technically correct it wasn't earned 'this turn', I would have thought it ought to be reporting it regardless.
Why not show the total earned on the LAST turn, from the time the player completes all their actions that allegedly earn Dread PLUS any further earned from victories earned where the AI attacks any of the player's armies?
Seems a bit slap-dash and lazy.

I suppose it's a case of wait a month and see if they fix anything.
Won't hold my breath given the strategic map still makes my video card go into orbit, lol, and that's been around forever.

Bought it on discount for very little, so no big deal. Just confirms my policy of never to buy anything from pretty much any 'AAA' publisher until it's heavily discounted, even if it takes a year or more to happen.

the easiest way would be waiting until they are a high enough level, depending on difficulty they should reach said level fairly quickly

I hope there is either a fix or a mod... (Fixes are more encouraging...) I recruited Malagor at level 3 I think in my latest Taurox M.E. campaign... Nothing quest wise marked pretty sure. (ooopssie<<<) Might have to have a looksee...

I saved Dread like mad to get Malagor early on because as stated above AI has terrible skill choices.

Edit:

Seems ok so far...: Odd Quest request though :S

I'd say a mod conflict at the very least. Running total Vanilla at the moment.

(Some awesome mods for quest items when they get updated by the way!)

I think the main issue is that when you unlock the lords via dread its technically a confederation. From what ive seen, youll be able to get the unique items for the LL IF they were still alive when you bought them with dread. However, if they were dead and you buy them with dread, it "Revives" the faction and makes them confederated and than you dont get the unique item. Its literally the exact same bug that happened like last year, where if you confederated a faction that had been revived, you wouldnt be able to get the unique items for whatever LL it was

It's confederation if their faction is still alive
And it gives them to you at their death lvl if they are already out.

How else would you implement it? They are all in ME and are controlled by AI as separate factions. So if they are alive, it has to be a confederation.
If you wait till they are wiped out or get them when they are wounded, you can redeploy em where ever you want.

If you want to redeploy them after confederation just get them killed and recruit them once they are ready again. As beastmen you don't really care about defending regions once ritual is done. You only do it to see the whole world burn, but after ritual you can just leave area and move to next you don't gain anything substatial from ritual performed Stones.

The issue is not that you confederate the other lords, personally i would have liked if i had one horde in the old world because it wouldve helped content with brettonia/empire who are power spiking on the other side of the world as me as i burn down the new world with taurox. The issue is if youre too late and dont confederate these lords until after they already died you dont get their legendary gear which isnt the worst deal in the world but it can definitely ♥♥♥♥ up your plans a little bit. (one of the best examples for me is that in my campaign morghur couldnt get his rod of corruption which gives you an extra +2 capicity on chaos spawn)

I could get Morghur's and Taurox' gear after they got wiped out.
