I’m liking the Vampire Coast DLC so far. I’m playing as Luthor Harkon with an all ranged army of 10 zombie pirates with armor piercing rifles, 4 mortars, and a gunnery wight to buff the guns. Normally an all ranged army is terrible in siege battles. I made it work, though the battle took 45 minutes - the longest battle I’ve ever fought.
Siege battles are the worst part of TW:WH because the AI bugs out in annoying ways. I’ve had artillery crews try to assault walls on foot instead of shooting. I’ve had many times where troops did not follow simple orders to climb the walls or walk through a gate.
This time the game found a new way to screw up. After I destroyed the gate and the lizards behind the wall, I marched Luthor and 4 zombies into the city right past the remaining troops on the wall. After the 15 minutes or so it took to march my slow troops to the plaza of the huge city and defeat the waiting defenders, the lizards on the wall remembered that they’re supposed to defend the city and started running after me.
