What to do next?

[Ethien]

I'm playing as Reikland currently and right now I'm at a bit of an impasse.

I've killed off all the surrounding beastmen and orcs. I'm currently around turn 30 I believe and just finished off the stack from the recent beastmen spawning script.

I can't fight my allies and so expanding is a bit difficult. The orcs for once are being beaten by the Dwarves and Border Princes.

What should I do next now that evil isn't winning?

There will be more "waves" coming, but I would take some troops, or scout north. DE and Chaos usually causes some serious problems there. I noticed you didn't use your diplomat at all with the episodes so far, you could just go thru every ally and exhance map information for good info what's happening, and to get info/locations of trade-resources.

[Ethien]

Ah draft, that's not much help then. I checked the charts and my allies have only been gaining provinces. I may have to end up passing turns off screen until there's a change in fortunes.

If you have extra coin and don't really care about 'glitching' (cheating) the game out, what you can do is set up armies with artillery right outside of, say Averland towns, and send a diplomat over, pay them large amount of coin to un-ally them, then besiege them and take all those settlements that same turn, then next turn it's hard coded that they re-ally. That's pretty damn close to cheating, however if you are really bored, or have absolutely nothing to do, why not.

1.5.1 computer empire factions are much more aggressive than they are in 1.5. I encountered the same problem.....

THE SOLUTION....

pick a city, preferably a rich, well developed one that the forces of dark hold. Declare a CRUSADE!! Go and take the city and start conquering the surrounding territories. Think colonialism ;P

Yeah, thats fairly useful whats said above, I find my self saving insane amounts of money and paying Middenland off for their towns, (About at a 1:50k ratio) also use groups of spys to make his down rebel, in my particular Reikland campaign, Middenland only has Delberz, Brass Keep and Middenheim, I also own hochland... after Beastmen wiped em out.

If Assassins are enabled... then it's VERY easy to make a allied down drop 50%-80% public order in a single turn and have them be kicked out in 1-2 turns.

(Another good colonization is Wusterburg, and Karak Hirn/the other one there.)

Thanks for the responses everyone. I previously played 1.4.4 where the orcs would swamp over the Empire so this is a huge change for me.

For the sake of my series I'll probably begin a crusade against Sylvania though if there's not some serious changes I'll have to skip over a lot of turns, haha.

At turn 30 I think you aren't too far from the Chaos Undivided event. If you want something more immediate I'd go looking for Sylvania settlements to take or look farther away for beastmen settlements or take the fight to the Greenskins.

Make a crusade on Sylvania.

Make a crusade on Sylvania.

Yup what he said, you can take the entire place, making the southern empire more secure and giving you a massive recruitment base/income for when the chaso storm comes.;
