High elves vs the world

[oelewapper]

As I feel so superior to those petty humans, I sent some of my High Elf armies to the Grand Theogonist's crib. When I arrived there, my eloquent diplomat kindly informed him that the party was over, and I attacked him. Now it gets weird. As I attacked his army near a city to the south belonging to Reikland, the garrisson of Reikland came to my aid talking about devotion... Then I captured his residence, and the rest of the empire just doesn't seem to care also, if I attack another Empire faction, I get messages stating that my alliances with the other Empire factions are in tatters, but next time I look, my alliances are still intact!? Does anyone know if this is a bug? I just don't want their vulgar friendship...

You chose the wrong elves to play for.

haha, nice answer I agree that's not the universal view of High Elves, but hey, I do what I want right? Also, that wasn't so helpful...

Real answer: The campaign is scripted so that the Conclave of Light factions remain allied against the common Chaos threat, as was the case in the historical Storm of Chaos campaign. (Eh, historical... well, the one that was fought in the summer of... I forget, 2002 or something. That's history, isn't it?)

If you try to attack your allies stuff probably breaks. Better not do that. Or wait for the sandbox campaign sub-mod to get updated.

If you really want to, maybe you can mod the change yourself? Or alternately try sending a diplomat to every faction and breaking the alliance before you attack anyone. Maybe that'll make you hostile to the empire at large.

thank you for the real answer I'll probably try that last idea, breaking all alliances, because those humans are so helpless on their own :p

No chance... Script won't let u attack the light factions.

Play dark elves if u want to attack empire.
