Hey guys, me again. So I'm being viewed as a weak warboss by my horde of greenskins. I've already stomped a revolt and a few wanna be challengers. How do I stop being viewed as weak? Prestige? Beat more people up?

Are there any guidelines for this? My huge warboss routinely dies to his average liege.

Your race, your size, your strength, your health, your magic items, your mounts, your martial, and your learning if you're witch hunter, all play into duel outcomes.

Sadly, the basic guideline is mostly that everyone dies to beings that are mounted on anything with wings if not winged themselves, and anything with a magic weapon beats nearly everything without. :D
And may the Ancestors guide your soul if you try to fight a monstrous Vampire in a straightforward duel. Strigoi are MONSTERS.
Otherwise, the baseline is goblin < human < dwarf < Elf < Vampires and Everything < SETTRA!! , with orks somewhere in-between em all. Other than that, it's basically dependant on the regular traits. Bad news is if you're wounded or maimed.

When/how does a major Undead or Chaos invasion happen? Been trying to unite the Empire, but I don't know how to complete this part.

Undead invasion starts at (fittingly) the start of the game, with Vlad von Carstein doing all he can to subdue as much of the empire as he is capable of.
Chaos Invasions happen rarely, when the AI actually manages a Daemon Prince and he figures he'd invade your turf.

When/how does a major Undead or Chaos invasion happen? Been trying to unite the Empire, but I don't know how to complete this part.
If you can't unite the Empire via the decision, you can always try the classic CKII method of just taking 80% of the counties in the Empire's territory, which can be easy if you start as, say the ruler of the Imperial Reikland since the various female rulers of the other "Imperial" realms seem to be either unmarried or perhaps the holder of the Reikland just starts married to one of those "empresses" and I just don't pay attention to that detail.
Undead invasion starts at (fittingly) the start of the game, with Vlad von Carstein doing all he can to subdue as much of the empire as he is capable of.
Chaos Invasions happen rarely, when the AI actually manages a Daemon Prince and he figures he'd invade your turf.
I always assumed a "Chaos Invasion" was any attack from a Chaos Worshipper. Glad to find out the specifics of that condition.

So I noticed Tilea cultures can build buildings to get cannon in their levy, but I've not been able to find cannon buildings for the Empire. Is this a engine limitation / gameplay design thing or possibly its further up the building tree?

Imperial characters can get cannon by raising imperial regiments. For the low, low cost of 2000 denarinos, they get a vassal mercenary regiment of 100 cannon and 900 light foot.

Each holding can only give ONE type of Special Troop (in Vanilla that would be Horse Archers, Camels, Elephants, etc.) You can make Arty State Troops though.

They get gunners instead, but as Zsrai and Navry have said above, you can raise a artillery state troop that gives 100 artillery units, which is still more than 2-3 Tilean levies.

The download link seems to be broken, won't finish it at 99.99%, just hangs there.

EDIT: It works, but it acts strangely, it took the download some 15 minutes to finish a 0.01% download (it took me about 5 minutes to download the 99.9%)
