@@austinwhite3575 Don't expect SFO to buff Malakai lol, in general Venris thinks Malakai is way too strong too quickly, thunderbarge getting no stat changes etc.
I’m in the middle of one right now doing my best to beat the snot out of chaos. Hoping I can eventually turn south and wreck the chaos dwarves but chaos is difficult to deal with.
@ryanmaris1917 don't let yourself get bogged down up there trying to protect settlements. I gave up and just started selling my norscan settlements to kislev when moving to take on chorfs. Much easier to defend elsewhere.
they are rather reasonable. by comparison to raki, Dawi-Zharr, Urks, Grobi, Kazaki-dum, Uzkular, daemons, Ogri, Grombolgi, at least. So most reasonable after dawi and umgi (they try at least). I am missing the Khazalid words for lizard and daemon though
The best players don’t waste any turns. Too many players (me included) just skip through stuff each turn or forget and by turn 80-90 we could have achieved so much more if we were more efficient with movement / spending / battles / recruiting / provincial settings and other mechanics
Grimgor, Black Ork, production of the Chaos Dwarves, mby not a miss-tag, although feel the missing Chaos Dwarf should be there too. Great video, can really see the enthusiasm for the campaign :)
Probably beacuse of geography. Zhatan is in bumfuck nowhere he is in no way stopping you from actually repairing the underway. To me it seems fine the way it is.
Malakai's campaign is definitely a highlight. Super fun to play. My only issue with the Dwarf rework is that I wish once you maxed out the Age of Reckoning, the grudges you settle would overflow to the next Age. Even if it was only a % of them that transferred over, I'd appreciate that.
Mechanics wise, I agree. Lorewise? I think it well shows the fickle nature of the dwarves. You can do so much for them, and even a single mistake can make a bitter rival.
Honestly these campaign reviews are great content, especially because you simply explain the mechanics and how to use them well. I enjoy campaigns a lot more when I have a solid grasp on how their mechanics work from the get-go, I hope to see more of these!
Thank you for making this Legend! Been hoping you'd make more of these with ToD, just love these reviews. I often shuffle the playlist and let the first entry tell me what campaign to play next :) keep up the good work!
Malakai's campaign really blows all the other dwarf campaigns out of the water. Theres just so much going for it. But the grudge system makes all of them a lot more fun.
The whole rewrok on dwarfs feels really good indeed, had a blast playing Thorgrim Malakai and Thorek still it feels they got the short stick (jeje) compared to the empire that got Franz and Gelt a rework on top of that making each one unique, outside of Malakai and Thorek a little the others got nothing special. 12:40 SHORT-ly!? thats a grudge!
@@MEGABUMSTENCH They could do it slowly, one or two lords per dlc. They did it with ToD so definitly they can do it. Thing is if they are planning to close that game in a year there is no point to invest.
I started playing this one after I saw your latest unit tier list for dwarves and I am also loving it, still a bit complicated but interesting. Thank you for motivating me to play WH3 again 🙂
Dwarfs were my favorite race prior to this update and this just further cements them in that spot. Malakai’s campaign is so much fun, you can really play however you want. Thunderbarges are insane, five of them fully up upgraded can take on 20 stacks.
I played the campaign of the realms of chaos map because it allows me to finish a campaign without getting fatigue and giving up before meeting long campaign conditions. It was a lot of fun and I would recommend trying the dlc campaigns on RoC if you like a shorter, more quest-driven campaign. I'm excited to try the long campaign next though, this is one of those campaigns I wouldn't get fatigued on. Basically new Ikit.
I like to think of myself as a decent dwarven player but fuck man, the start of his campaign is so rough. I immediately get war declared on me by all chaos factions, chaos dwarves, skaven. It turns into a permanent defence of my first three settlements
Probably one of my favorite campaigns so far. The mechanics made me want to go out of my way to unite the Dwarves and help the Empire as to ease up my fronts and support my wars against the Orcs and Skaven, which I realized was the oddly a perfect parallel with the lore. tldr: Good shit
The Fallen Ones grudge isn't bugged. It unlocks the underway to the east by having you wipe out all the factions that can use the underway stance in that part of the world. Essentially you're clearing out threats to the underway in order to unlock its fast travel.
I like the new dwarf confederation system but in one of my campaigns it seemed to have bugged out and required that I settle ridiculous amounts of grudges for long dead lords.
I knew that the campaign with the Master of Innovation faction with Malakai Makaison would be the most fun. I'm playing it right now and it's very fun and varied, even more so with the new units and the improved units.
The fact they have added mechanics to the more recent campaigns that give you incentives to keep playing is a great thing. Not only does an individual campaign have replay value as you can go a different choose-your-own-adventure route each time, but there are also lots of things to do over the course of 100+ turns, and some you can't realistically accomplish by then on harder difficulties. (That aside, I realize there are players who basically ignore all of the mechanics and achievements and just blitz-conquer because that's all they've ever done, but then I'm not sure why they even still play TW games.)
Been thinking of doing a Thorgrim "clear the book" campaign. With the changes to the AoR mechanic no longer scaling based on worldwide grudges seems like it would be a fun campaign.
I've done both the immortal empires and realms of chaos campaigns, and jeeze is it weird. In both cases I conquer then get kicked off the norscan peninsula, with me having to retreat to various holdouts. Realms of chaos I had to flee to albion and build up power there, before sweeping the south and then eastward. In immortal empires 50% of the dwarven factions were eliminated by turn 15, and the rest by 30, with only belegar making it to around round 50, so all grudges had to be settled by me. The forces of order were on the backfoot the whole time, with kemmler taking the western empire, and azrag cutting the heartland in half. Araby was a contested nightmare, and skarbrand was as far south as the edge of the southernmost mountains, and as north as the border princes, and the lizardmen had the northern half of cathay.
Regarding "The fallen ones" grudge, given the reward is underway network in the area, Grimgor makes more sense because he's in the area, whereas Zhatan is busy visiting the Chinese. My only complaint with the dwarfs is that the Underway network feels like it's too little too late in the campaign. I finished my campaign at turn 100 and I only used it twice, it takes a very long time to unlock, there's a pretty big cooldown between armies and since all the dwarf factions get wiped out, you're the one that has to control all those territories, meaning you already have armies in there. It's useful for reinforcing a front where someone declared a sudden war or something like that but it's not like the Wood Elves being able to teleport almost anywhere very early on. I'm not saying it should be but I'd say the Underway network should be unlocked as soon as you have 2 Karaks under your control (or met another dwarf faction controling their karaks), and then have it work like the caravan system, if there are no enemies in the way or the immediate surroundings then you unlock the next destination. That would mean needing to change a bit the rewards for the Legendary grudges, either a substantial cooldown reduction for the "Fallen kingdoms" one and a completely new reward for the Norscan one since it doesn't really make sense for this one to provide cooldwon reduction when there weren't any dwarf holds in Norsca iirc
Question for everyone here, does anyone else get a bug with Belegar’s confederation where the ancestral spirits spawn at your capital all on the same tile and are thus unable to move? I’m not sure if it’s linked to a mod, I doubt it as most of my mods are cosmetic only and the only gameplay mod I have is the end times crisis mod (which has a whole bunch of other issues I can reliably navigate)
I’ve been struggling to take the northern chaos wastes once I had finished off most of the Norscan factions. That and GreenSkins encroaching through Chorf area
I just reinstalled warhammer 3 and have been enjoying Malikai though i will need to move it onto a SSD soon I think just getting bored waiting between 10-15 mins with or without mods
Nah nah nah. That's a feature. Do house work between turns, or do some push-ups/situps. Twwh2s long turn times were genuinely the cleanest my house has ever been
There's currently an issue in the game where dark elves spam out ridiculous amounts of black arks, and causes the turn timers to be longer. There's a mod on the workshop called "No sacrifice to Mathlann for AI" that should fix this issue until CA does something about it. I would recommend an SSD for it though, turn times are ridiculous without one.
What annoyed me a lot about the Legendary Grudges is that, for example, when Alarielle had only one lord roaming around, Tyrion confederated her and this disabled/aborted the legendary grudge. Now it cannot be completed.
tbh seeing malakai campaigns makes me so jealous. I can't play it, not because I didn't buy it, but because gyrocopters crash my battles, so either disband or autoresolve. But seeing legend helps!
@@TheRewasder97 did, unsubscribed from all mods even if not using them, uninstalled the entire game and installed it again. Still maneuvering with flying units in battle crashes the entire thing.
@@Sandriu I recommend uninstalling the game witha program called Revo uninstaller, it gets rid of all the leftover crap that steam/windows doesn't delete, sometimes it helps with weird crashes like that
People give the Changeling a lot of shit, but I really like their "quest log" of objectives to accomplish. It seems it was also a massive inspiration for Malakai's adventures. I always like it when the goal isn't the usual "paint the map".
CA need to look at this type of campaign and replicate it across the old factions, having a multi-layer campaign that gives you long and meaningful objectives is what we want
0:38 I know it's petty and not the best place but Legend started it so here we go. Maybe don't try to minmax, cheese and steamroll everything if you want better long-term engagement. Really dislike this Legend's tendency to complain how the game is not challenging or engaging while he actively does everything to make it that way. I know hitting the right difficulty is hard since the game tends to snowball both ways but that's no excuse not to try. He was so preoccupied with whether or not he could, he didn’t stop to think if he should.
This was the best campaign in w3 and maybe even among all warhammer total war franchise for me. I am sure I will play it shortly another time or two in a near future.
Remember that only upgrading the spirit of grungni matters. Every chaos faction is coming for your settlements and it’s hard to defend with the economy being bad early on for Malakai
My problem with the Gnollengrom (or whatever it's called), is that my enemies don't last long enough to be hated long enough to acquire enough points after the first 15 rounds, so I just can't earn enough to hit 100% after doing so the first time (unless I let them beat me and take my settlements and cripple my economy for free, which takes many turns btw). Any tips is appreciated, 'cause I can't seem to figure out how to complete it without hurting myself (both my faction, and myself via think = hurt).
Just a small note, if other Dwarf Lords confederate Malakai Makaisson, his summon for the Spirit of Grungni can last the whole battle if you buy the proper upgrade on the Spirit of Grungni ship buildings.
I think the rework for the dwarfs on its own would have been great for the factions. Malakai is just the cherry on top with a great campaign on his own. Personally I like the idea of giving you the ability to confederate other lords of your faction in a way even if they have been defeated.
Easily a top3 favorite campaign in TW3, and sadly it's both so much better and more fun than the other dwarf-campaigns that I'm not sure I'll play a different LL if I want to play dwarfs. There's just so much to do (Objectives, Grudges, Adventures) that feels fun and rewarding. 10/10 campaign for sure.
I love the campaign, but I got a few grudges with it that come mostly in the form of bugs. To start I wiped out the dark elves, didn't get the legendary grudge completed for it :T second the requirements to unlock the Underway, such as wiping the chorfs, took so long into the end game there was no point, in fact I still haven't unlocked it despite wiping them out almost entirely. 3rd, and this is probably because I used confederate defeated lords mod, but I could not reasonably reach the grudges needed to recruit anyone, Ungrim had like 100k+ grudges required to overtake him despite him only having 15k grudges in total while I was around 50k.
I've been struggling with Malakai because the grudge too far end times event has just happened and you don't incur grudges against other dwarves, so I have not been able to settle very many grudges. In addition, every dwarf army now just settled a million grudges with their hoard of armies so confederation is impossible.
To be honest I watch Legend play this game far more than I actually play it!! CA lost me at SoC, own this DLC but not played. Didn’t play this due to its faulty grudge system at release. Might start a campaign in a couple of months time.
This faction is complete bonkers, overshadows every other dawi. Absolutely love the legendary battle vs the skaven, wish there were more battles like that.
@@perrymerilagreed. I played my very first real Belegar campaign the other day after toying with Malakai in 2 separate playthroughs, and his buffs after getting Karak Eight Peaks still feels VERY strong. That and the fact that you're in the perfect position to confederate 3/5 other Dwarf LLs and still maintain a contiguous empire. Malakai wins out in terms of campaign longevity though. Legendary Grudges were bugged for me and I had no real desire to keep playing after I conquered/confederated the main dwarf holds.
i love this campaign but ive been having an issue with the dwarf campaigns in that a bunch of the legendary grudges that have a bit of progress on them will fail once i hit turn 50.
The one that’s greyed out means you completed it after you did the quest battle. You can complete the objective but won’t get the bonuses for any not complete prior to completing the quest battle
I think Malakais campaign gave a good sense of progression, unlike most, and as Legend sais it gets kinda "more of the same" after a while. What are you normally going to do? Wait 10 more turns for a tier 4-5 city and build a 4th doomstack or something -_-
Hey Legend first of all thx for your vids. Would it be possible, as addition to the campaign review, to make a short overview on the possible dwarven doomstacks (or strong army compositions)? I don't (and i guess many others) have the overview over all the traits and hero combinations etc.
i wish when you confederate a LL you get his unique campaign mechanic aswell, makes the LL Hunt abit more rewarding and could make a campaing get absolute crazy xD
I'm still on my Nuln campain, si mutch fun with big toys, but the only challenge left is to confederate the remaining legendary lord and have some scemantic for the school. I finish the maggot lord, it was fun, but i don't have start à Malakai campain. I will now, after my final crisis with chaos dwarfs, soo many tanks and landship are waithing for them. Ps. I think Elsbeth have a problem, she is not affected by the technology that reduce the cost of casting. Maybe 10% réductions doesnt change anything for her at level 50.

Easily a top3 favorite campaign in TW3, and sadly it's both so much better and more fun than the other dwarf-campaigns that I'm not sure I'll play a different LL if I want to play dwarfs. There's just so much to do (Objectives, Grudges, Adventures) that feels fun and rewarding. 10/10 campaign for sure.
I love the campaign, but I got a few grudges with it that come mostly in the form of bugs. To start I wiped out the dark elves, didn't get the legendary grudge completed for it :T second the requirements to unlock the Underway, such as wiping the chorfs, took so long into the end game there was no point, in fact I still haven't unlocked it despite wiping them out almost entirely. 3rd, and this is probably because I used confederate defeated lords mod, but I could not reasonably reach the grudges needed to recruit anyone, Ungrim had like 100k+ grudges required to overtake him despite him only having 15k grudges in total while I was around 50k.
I've been struggling with Malakai because the grudge too far end times event has just happened and you don't incur grudges against other dwarves, so I have not been able to settle very many grudges. In addition, every dwarf army now just settled a million grudges with their hoard of armies so confederation is impossible.
They did a great work with this dlc. If they do also with other abandoned factions is something to consider invest in.
Love the campaign. You also get Gotrek and Felix from the beginning, and Ulrika easier (don't know if other Dwarfs get her as well)
To be honest I watch Legend play this game far more than I actually play it!! CA lost me at SoC, own this DLC but not played. Didn’t play this due to its faulty grudge system at release. Might start a campaign in a couple of months time.
Legend, Now that Ultimate General: American Revolution is out on Steam (stilll Early access) are you going to try it?
my favourite dwarfs campaign by far !
Was this campaign started before or after the patch that gave u more time to settle grudges for the age of reckoning?
Oh his campaign is a blast have not played as far as you here but great so far .
@legendoftotalwar i think campaign fatique is quiete the issue, isnt there any possibility to improve the AI and make them smarter/better in the game?
Hi legend, just wondering even though it isn’t a m2tw vid but i have black bars on my screen when playing. Do you know how to fix it? Cheers
Played a malakai campaign as a horde faction. Simply ignored my regions and only took some land when I needed a breather from the fighting.
Cool I might give that a go. Didn't you need the settlement income?
@@FrogFace64sacking and razing does the trick
The Dwarfs are a lot of fun now and Malakai has great mechanics. The Dwarfs finally got a good rework!
This faction is complete bonkers, overshadows every other dawi.
Absolutely love the legendary battle vs the skaven, wish there were more battles like that.
I don't think overshadows is the right word. All dwarves are powerful now, even thorgrim.
@@perrymerilagreed. I played my very first real Belegar campaign the other day after toying with Malakai in 2 separate playthroughs, and his buffs after getting Karak Eight Peaks still feels VERY strong.
That and the fact that you're in the perfect position to confederate 3/5 other Dwarf LLs and still maintain a contiguous empire.
Malakai wins out in terms of campaign longevity though. Legendary Grudges were bugged for me and I had no real desire to keep playing after I conquered/confederated the main dwarf holds.
why would you play the game and not live stream? for you thats like working and not getting paid?
also known as playing a game you enjoy. Can't livestream all the time.
Amazing what CA can produce when they put slightly above bare minimum effort in
It’s the yearly month of work followed by 11 months of burying their head in the sand, the CA formula.
gow do you keep goign if you get so much done and the underway special travels not done yet>?
You can finish the minor objectives after the quest battle and still get the unit buffs from them, but yeah it’s a really good campaign
i love this campaign but ive been having an issue with the dwarf campaigns in that a bunch of the legendary grudges that have a bit of progress on them will fail once i hit turn 50.
My first VH campaign that i completed
The one that’s greyed out means you completed it after you did the quest battle. You can complete the objective but won’t get the bonuses for any not complete prior to completing the quest battle
Also grimgor is very different from all the other green skins…. All black orca were chaos dwarf slaves…. Hence the fallen ones.
I agree 100 percent with everything you presented -but I feel some minor balancing needs to be done as it is an easy campaign.
Does anyone have any idea about whyy quest battles are stuck in black screen?
It's been the most interesting campaign I've played in TWW3 for ages...
I think Malakais campaign gave a good sense of progression, unlike most, and as Legend sais it gets kinda "more of the same" after a while. What are you normally going to do? Wait 10 more turns for a tier 4-5 city and build a 4th doomstack or something -_-
Yeah, adding a little bit of narrative incentive does a lot to keep the campaign interesting
They gotta put this same love and dedication into the Lizardmen rework. Like they felt left behind in WH2 in 3 they almost not playable.
If a battle is needed on the other end of the map how do you get there quickly? Wouldn't that be boring sending your lord away for 20 turns?
Hey Legend first of all thx for your vids. Would it be possible, as addition to the campaign review, to make a short overview on the possible dwarven doomstacks (or strong army compositions)? I don't (and i guess many others) have the overview over all the traits and hero combinations etc.
Or, hear me out, play the game and experiment. Do you think people build skill without practice?
Malakai it's so fun that i played 3 campaign in a row after i finished them by taking 275 settlement
Whats with the money, did Malakai inevnt money printing machine?
i wish when you confederate a LL you get his unique campaign mechanic aswell, makes the LL Hunt abit more rewarding and could make a campaing get absolute crazy xD
Irony how the one that Legend streamed last and was hesitant about, is now the one he likes the most....
Shoutout to CA for the thrones of decay DLC. Can we all now tell them to bugger off with Cathay and work on Slaanesh & Khorne???
Easiest Campaign ever and obviously the strongest faction now.
I'm still on my Nuln campain, si mutch fun with big toys, but the only challenge left is to confederate the remaining legendary lord and have some scemantic for the school. I finish the maggot lord, it was fun, but i don't have start à Malakai campain. I will now, after my final crisis with chaos dwarfs, soo many tanks and landship are waithing for them. Ps. I think Elsbeth have a problem, she is not affected by the technology that reduce the cost of casting. Maybe 10% réductions doesnt change anything for her at level 50.
Now that Malakai has his ship mechanic is time to give Lockhart his own black ark
so hes like a changeling when it comes to campaign direction?
