Grinding out Vampire Survivors Castlevania DLC with some Total Warhammer 3 Chorf campaign on the side. One category of "challenge" in VS that I'm grinding out right now and really don't like are the ones to deal X damage or get Y kills with a certain weapon, because neither of those stats are visible in-game so you just kinda have to guess. Not to mention that it's unclear whether the evolution of a weapon count as that weapon for the purpose of the challenges.
Chorfs are pretty interesting gameplay-wise, and oddly come down closest to Skaven of all things, just with better elite infantry. The forced confederation thing in the tower of zharr is fucking busted. Once you finish the tech tree you just get to incorporate all of your biggest rivals for more or less free? One thing I've never really gotten a handle on is the "laborer" economy, and despite being at near constant war, I keep running out.
The key is specialization and happiness management. You basically want to have raw material provinces where you throw all your labour, and focus on things that reduce unrest in those places to minimize losses turn over turn. Concentrating them in the appropriate places and keeping those places locked down reduces the turn-over-turn loss.
I also usually end up sending out caravans mostly to get back labourers, a continuous feed into my machine that is better optimized and more productive than any of the trade routes could match. I end up with a surplus of raw materials so it can feed back into keeping labour up.
Good to know, that's pretty much what I was doing, but then I never had enough to really feel like the province options that cost labor to eg rush construction were worth it since I was always just around 100% at the best of times.
