Charming throne-guarding pretender chassis


Get rid of the troops guarding the chassis

The guards of the chassis might become the targets of your charms and enslave spells, so they must be disposed of before you try to dominate the chassis.

Foul vapors might work if the chassis itself is poison resistant. Other battlefield wipes might be used depending on the composition of the army.

Be careful to not make the enemy army flee or the chassis might leave the battlefield and disappear! A way to avoid that is to send mages on the back of the battlefield or in the front that will get killed or flee as soon as they cast their spell. Another way is to send a specialized thug that will clear the troops until he gets killed by the target chassis.

Charm the chassis

Research charm and mass nature mages in the frontlines. Communions might be used to boost the mage's level. Penetration boosting items might help but are risky as they might get lost. Dispensable mages might get some void eyes and spell focuses to improve their penetration. Rune smashers might be used if you feel confident that your makes are safe.

Let's note that the chassis will lose his extra paths if enslaved and gift of reasoned... It might be worth it if he possesses paths your nation has no access to, but if he has incredible magic skills you will want to charm it instead.

Also, don't send seducers, as the chassis has 30 morale he won't ever be seduced...

Cross fingers

I never tried that technique and it is probably too unreliable to be used in multiplayer. If you try something like that please let me know how it went!

MA/LA R'lyeh: How the void gate works

Preface This guide is mostly copy-pasted from a forum entry that has now been removed. It is however cited in the sources to acknowledge the work of the author. Guide For a unit to be a candidate to summon from the void gate, it needs to have a positive health and province, but I don't think it's possible for you to summon with a dead unit or one off the map anyway (that is not dead which can eternal lie?). It needs to have astral magic, but it doesn't matter how much it has. Finally, there is a chance for either a summoning to happen or not. A unit has a "summon chance" property that starts at 0. When it enters the void gate, summon chance is always increased by 20. That is the percent chance that the unit is able to summon from the void gate. If a summoning occurs, the chance is set back to 0. So every unit has a sequential 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, then 100% chance to summon from the void gate until it summons something, then it is reset back to starting at 20% fo...

LA R'lyeh: Void spectre

The void spectre is a great S4 mage for only 25gems. Since he is a void summoner of high skill, he can get great summons from the void gate, while having low chances of being lost due to his high void sanity and good enough stats to kill vastnesses or kill anything else that can come out of the void gate. According to Reddit , he gives 10 insanity to the units in the same province each round. A great way to use it is to send a couple of them scripted to retreat in an ennemy capital for a turn.

LA R'lyeh: Freespawn mechanics

Image
I'm been running many experiments, trying to grasp the freespawn mechanics of LA R'lyeh. It's not large scale testing, but more like 12 turn testing over twenty-ish games while changing dominion level and scales and counting the amount of freespawn at the end of the year. It seems that LA R'lyeh' freespawn is proportional to both dominion and turmoil scales only. PS: a code delve done by Loggy seems to indicate that Sloth only should impact the amount of Dreamers freespawn. But could it be that the SLOTH constant is actually pointing to turmoil? According to the following code, the perecentage for freespawn is the minimum between ( dominion level + sloth scales ) * 5 and the province population.
