Dark Elves and Rebel Factions

**Gigantus** · August 19, 2011, 05:00 AM

I took the Dark Elves for a test ride and noticed that I had some merry trade with the rebel factions. And indeed I got warned if I wanted to attack a neutral faction upon right clicking an army on one of the settlements..
This might probably be the reason why they DE don't attack Sals camp, in another game they were just standing in front of it with a full stack and not attacking, even so the settlement was pretty empty.

Before I change that in my installation I would like some feed back if this could be intentional. And the DE don't have any enemy at the beginning other then the High Elves until the alliance offer, an oversight?

Hmm I have seen them attack Sarl's camp and then end up in a brawl of epic proportions against the Norse dwarves - i'll check a few games and see what the concensus is. Just to point out Gig - the High Elves are still worse than useless just north of the Empire - they stick a force on a boat that moves to the NE of the DE camp - then it just sits there.... for a hundred turns...

Thanks for the feedback.
The ship for the HE appears to be a surefire recipe for them to loose there base there. I have seen them occupying a region even further North - probably only to loose it when the 'undivided chaos' event starts. Guess I might remove the ship for the AI and leave it for the player.

The second elf camp further NE works fine - i've seen it stay alive through the Undivided (mainly because of Night Goblins

) its just that first elf camp does nothing really. Checked a couple of my other games - the Dark elves seem to attack Sarl's camp about 50/50 from what I can see - in one game they have attacked the town to the south to try and link up with their north empire holdings..
