Rotten Timber Reserves

Background image for the Rotten Timber Reserves dilemma.

Rotten Timber Reserves is an exclusive dilemma for the Vampire Coast racial factions introduced in the Total War: Warhammer II Curse of the Vampire Coast DLC .

This lesser of two evils principle forces the player to chose temporaryfactionwide penalties, either major increases to construction cost and construction time for ship buildings; or major increases to construction cost and construction time for settlement buildings.

In-game description

The harsh weather has caused severe damage to our timber reserves, makin' it difficult to repair any combat-damaged ships at sea. We must now choose where to focus our remaining resources - should our ships suffer or our settlements?

Requirements

• Player is a Vampire Coast racial faction

Trigger timing

• As soon as all requirements are met there is a random chance the dilemma will trigger immediately.

Options

Option 1: Support Our Settlements

• The Fleet Suffers
  • Turns remaining: 3
  • Construction cost : +40% for ship buildings (all armies)
  • Construction time : +100% for ship buildings (all armies)

We have moved all our remaining resources into our settlements, but our fleets suffer as a result.

Our fleet is already strong, so we must focus on buildin' up our settlements instead. We'll need to focus all resources an' labour on the towns to do this.

Option 2: Support Our Fleet

• The Settlements Suffer
  • Turns remaining: 3
  • Construction cost : +20% for settlement buildings (all regions)
  • Construction time : +50% for settlement buildings (all regions)

We have moved all our remaining resources to our fleets, but our settlements suffer as a result.

Our fleet is the backbone of our empire, so we must reinforce it if we're to, er, 'survive'. We'll need to divert all resources an' labour to our ships if this is to work!
