After beating Evermore, I went back to look at the non-Merlin heroes I unlocked. Floating right there was Nekron, the lichborne Eldrich. I have not played an Eldrich yet, as I am totally addicted to vampires and champions (a non-vampire playable unit). They can get racial transformations??? Or is it just a major transformation? I might start one tonight, but if they can't get minor transformations, then I probably won't. Thank you in advance for your wisdom.

Is it supposed to heal or just be adding to max health? That seems unclear to me. From what I've seen I don't think it is healing. Can someone clear this up for me?

My vassal neighbor's governor, personifying half-a-dozen fetishes at once.

I've been making my way through the base game story realms, and I'm on the 5th one, but honestly, I'm struggling. It feels like my allies mostly just sit in their corners doing not much of substance, while I have to fight the other 4 players myself.

I know with city-states you can spend imperium to tell them to attack another city, any way I can do something similar with my supposed allies?

I love this game. I’d like to have the ability to create separate pantheons. Like a pantheon where all the Godirs are like the Norse Gods, a pantheon where factions are similar to Age of Sigmar factions, another pantheon with Egyptian mythology etc. Just a thought I had. When you create a game, you could select one pantheon so your adversaries would not be a complete mix up. What are your thought? I play on PS5 so there’s no mod.

I'm trying to break out of my eternal fixation with dragon and eldritch sovereign rulers, and so far I've only ever tried melee fire giants. I'd love to know what kinds of builds people have for the giant's obelisk weapon + accompanying class.

Thanks all!

Can’t really find an option to disable a single trait while creating a custom realm. Ideally I’d like to do a full set of unknown traits, so everything is a surprise other than the one I blocked. I created an underground faction, but one of the traits ended up being underground start, and all of the areas around me were already occupied, so looking to avoid that. Thanks!

I can beat Normal and Hard difficulty without any issues, but with Brutal it's borderline impossible

Had an infestation send forces to one of my cities with a tier V and tier IV unit among them, I had not even unlocked tier III yet. I can't spam units and hope to outnumber them because I don't have enough gold

Even smaller battles against tier 2 units feel like a struggle every time, I sometimes have to restart the fight several times to make sure I don't lose any units because I can't afford to lose any

I can't just stay in my throne city until I unlock stronger stuff, but I also can't leave and fight my way through resource nodes and infestations because they kick my ass

im not gonna suger coat it. i just straight up suck at the combat. in combats that (according to the game) should be hugely in my favour i still lose or lose almost all of my army. i dont wanna auto resolve anymore. i try to flank the enemies but even flanked they still just kill me so fast

Hello there,

In the item forge you can select mounts but its always empty. What am I missing? How can I craft chariot?

Thanks!

Unless you have multiple alliances and nothing else to spend your imperium on.

One defensive pact ? 50 turns to get even. Two pacts ? 25 turns...

If you have a single alliance it's 17 turns to get even. With two alliances we are down to 9 turns, which is kinda ok.

But that's if they 1) don't randomly decide to break the alliance and 2) don't suddenly die to another NPC invading their capital.

Hello,

Paragon of Materium kinda locks out your heroes and leader out of mounts. There should be alternate final skill, that doesn't apply large target and doesn't disable mounts.

Scrolling through a few options in the RotL, in addition both my Prosperity Dragons in the highlighted stack were recruited from RotL but one is a Soldier the other is a Levy...

Hey y'all so I was playing some Federate Reavers and I wanted to try out using Prosperity Dragons (PD) as Federate Levies (FL) so they could inflict the Engaged by Levies debuff from half a screen away, but then i noticed one of my PD (Both of which were recruited from Rally of the Lieges [RotL]) were not a FL but instead were Federate Soldiers (FS)?

I was just really confused and thought that maybe I got one of the dragons as a reward or something but then I reloaded and that wasn't the case so I started checking the RotL menu and checking the units and then I noticed some just said FS instead of FL and now I'm really confused I thought all units recruited from the RotL would be FL right?

Additional Context - Yes, I have the tome of prosperity, but no I don't even have the Summon Prosperity Dragon Spell unlocked so, i couldn't have summoned the one in my current stack either.

But also that doesn't begin explain the two Swamp Trolls who are FL and FS.

This is a bug... right?

EDIT:
I think i figured out what caused this...
The units that are federate soldier in the RotL are from Vassals that I later absorbed as cities, and even though they are still giving me rally points and additional units to the RotL Screen, I think the game now views them as my own units somehow and now they are federate soldiers... I dunno if that's intentional but that is definitely a bummer,

Maybe it's a Batman monarchy? But uh... taken over by a dragon?
