Hello,
I am currently playing campaign as Beastmen after a long time and I get anxiety watching my two poor hordes slip past 3, 4, 5, even 6 enemy armies that are locked-on to me, hoping not to get wiped by them which would make me lose the campaign.
I was thinking it would be cool to have a base of operations as Beastmen similar to Galleon's graveyard (middle of nowhere, "invinsible" to AI). Perhaps making a new one settlement province Drakwald forest/Forest of Shadow/some other beastmen location, where you have your Beastmen camp that lets you recruit new Lords and Heroes. It could also spread corruption and provide global recruitment options (similar to Nakai). There could also be events tied to this settlement if form of "invasions", like local huntsmen trying to get rid of you, Wood Elf hunt or Boris coming for the second eye.
Or maybe having an option to defile WE settlements. I was going south in my campaing to Oreons Camp until I realized it was basically a waste of time and resources (and also Queek was hunting me with two armies because it was all part of his plan-scheme, yes-yes).
TLDR: Make horde campaing less stressful and anxiety inducing by providing a "checkpoint" for the player.
What do you think? Would you like this idea in some form or shape or am I just too paranoid about losing my precious children of chaos?

1 · 1LikeBeastmen could have their normal Herdstone mechanics for most settlement types. For Magical Forests and a new "Deep Woods" settlement type there could be a "Greater Herdstone" mechanic similar to the WE current outpost system. Magical Forests having potent buffs to incentivise going against the WE. So as Beastmen you'd really want those "outposts" for stacking growth/income/corruption etc buffs. These outposts would serve as respawn points for your hordes but couldn't field armies themselves. Hopefully they would have strong but not invincible garrisons so you wouldn't have to babysit them too much.
Gamewide I think it's too easy to colonise inhospitable terrain types. Locking the ability to inhabit these terrain types behind early or mid-game technologies would force gaps in your empire, incentivise sacking and razing as options early game, prevent Bretonnia from taking over Norsca early game etc
Imagine as Empire having these Deep Woods settlements throughout your territory that you can't colonize (yet) but are potential spawn points for Beastmen hordes until you clear the garrison and raze.

0 · LikeWhether this or something else. This must be fixed. Its just so awful compartively to everything else. BM, then chaos, then Norsca, simply dont offer any fun for me.
Nor do Lizardmen, at all. But i can accept thats a matter of preference.
