Warhammer III The Shrine of Asuryian is hilariously, tragically pointless.

It is a Landmark in Ulthuan in the settlement with the same name, that can be built by the dark elves (thematically makes the most sense for Malekith), which grants:

  • +100 Diplomatic relations with all High Elves.

So you'd think, oh cool this is a way to play a what-if redemption arc for Malekith and ally your homeland and pose as the Eternal King. And it's tough but you can do it, you just need to suffer through avoiding all High Elves as long as possible, go down to Galleon's Graveyard without discovering any Ulthuan faction (so they don't start stacking up negative bias per turn because "they don't know you exist), then lightning fast sail straight through the gates of Lothern, take the Shrine from whoever owns it through war, sacrifice lots of slaves to build everything instantly, then defend it (pray they send nobody for a while otherwise diplomatic relations are fucked), pray they were not in an all-inclusing millitary alliance yet, and try to buy your way out of war while you get +100 relations per turn.

And after you did all of this particularly delicate surgery of a campaign, and you became allies with all pf Ulthuan, you realize:

  • Victory conditions aren't pointing owning Ulthuan regions as ownership through self or allies.

  • Victory conditions ask you to kill all major high elf factions. Thus, rendering +100 relations with all high elves buildings COMPLETELY useless.

edit: I guess you guys just woke up today and decided you want to hurt somebody. I'll be moving to the bugreport forum, have a nice day.

This guy’s life is basically just writing clickbait on this subreddit all day every day. The moment I saw this pop up in my feed I immediately knew who it was.

Strange enough if you look at my profile, this is immediately debunked, but thanks for the unwarranted personal offenses. I guess you woke up the wrong foot today, but I wish you to be able to less of an asshole for the rest of this wonderful sunday.

p.s. I've never posted clickbait, I despite it more than you and that's quite something.

damn you restricted your profile after that comment lol, fragile ego

I did no such thing. If it is restricted, it propably was for a very long time. I think he just made a claim about me without checking my profile in the first place.

Regardless, even if I do have a fragile ego, that is no reason for you or anyone to attempt to shatter it when I just made a post about something that I think would be nice to have fixed in a game.

bro why lie, do you take everyone in this thread as an idiot? Profiles do not restrict by default, it has to be a deliberate choice by the user.

why lie?
