      I'd agree mechanically in campaign Kislev is on the meh side. Katarin public order bonus though... kinda worth playing her just for that. You'll have 0 issue taking the Chaos Wastes even on legendary.
      In battle, however... yes, most of their ranged is weaker than Empire. But ALL their units are incredibly sticky due to passive, they have solid magic and all those op monsters they got from SoC elevates them to a tier that I *hate* facing Kislev in any and all campaigns. They doomstack Akshinas, bear units and Witcher monsters like there is no tomorrow.

    some good takes but would to hard disagree with skarsnik, Max difficulty i've had 27 armies at turn 34, with half the empire conquered, from azagh to queek conquered, from barak var to khemri, and was touching the mountains of mourn, the snowball potential of skarsnik is insane, close to 3 mines in your inital area, your initial province can afford 3.5 full nasty skulker/archer stacks at T3+, after thorgrim is killed by turn 10ish (he stands 0 chance against 2 nasty skulker + archer stacks with waaagh), waaagh karak 8 peaks as you siege the dawi capital, turn 20 the campaign is essentially won and K8P is yours, and you gobbo tide with -40 percent upkeep -15 for mushy addicted (per hero and lord as well and they all stack) -17 iirc for blue line skill tree , - 20 for the tech "on second thoughts" it's not hard at all to get 80%+ upkeep reduction across your armies and if you save your hero's and lords (mushy addicted) well you basically get free armies, hordes of nasty skulkers/night gobbo archers(regular with scrap against armoured armies though)/ a few spider cav and arachnarok spiders turn 40+ imho skarsnik might be the fastest empire builder in the game, an extra tip Mushy addicted night gobbo shaman are your best lords as skarsnik that arachnarok spider mount is goated and spamming night gobbo shamans for magic missles is quite great actually (can put them all on wolf mounts as well), i think Gobbos are on the stronger side of greenskins atm, love Grimgor but i dont think he would stand a chance to a competent skarsnik, FOR EVERY GOBBO YOU KILL 10 MORE WILL TAKE HIS PLACE - some guardsman from 40k
    ps. i will concede if you don't like fighting a lot of battles it may not be the campaign for you though, auto resolve doesnt like gobbos in a fair fight, but if your fighting fair as skarsnik you're doing it wrong fr.
    PSS. Skarsnik AI is one of the few if only AI's that gets his faction effect removed (the -40percent upkeep) which is why is ai is quite meh, sometimes pops off, but CA had to nerf AI skarsnik that should tell you something. There is a mod to re add that trait to AI skarsnik and have a look how good his ai becomes when its fair for him lmao.

    I just finished a campign with Alarielle and I think she should be S-Tier. You go up against dark elves and Slaanesh early and by the time you get done with them, you'll have to rush over to face two full stacks of Dreadfleet blitzing up the west coast of Ulthuan. After getting all of that done, you can push west to fight Morathi, north to fight Chaos or other dark elves, or east to fight Grom or Ikit Claw if they're still around. There's tons of variety and a lot to do within easy reach of Ulthuan.

    I don't get ranking Katarin as trash. I admit the supporter mechanic leaves something to be desired, however I think it's one of the most enjoyable campaigns in that it gives you this "I'm under siege from every direction" feeling. If you like that kind of campaign, Katarin is one of the best.
    Malakai, though in a seemingly worse position actually is easier as a) it's easier to recruit high damage units (grapeshot cannons) and you can eliminate Tretch, Throgg and Azazel much more easily and quickly. Katarin, being further away, interestingly ends up harder.

    I feel like Azazel should atleast temporarily be in F because the Legendary Lord doesn't work which was INCRECIBLY salt inducing after buying the dlc for him after allying him in my first campaign and riding together to glorious victory. Just charges into combat then stands still indefinitely after a few seconds. Mostly happens on sieges but it was getting to the point of being a 50-50 the lord stops working. The pain of buying a dlc to play a particular lord and he just doesn't work.

  • @Sarcasmses
    @Sarcasmses 5 місяців тому +2

    What I find odd about these ratings is that they ignore the things that are common between all LLs in a faction, such as unit roster and army stances. Imo all Skaven lords would at least B tier simply because the Skaven roster is so wide and strong, Stalk stance is the single most busted mechanic in the entire game, Menace Below is a legal cheat code, and the Warlock Master is one of the best generic lords in the game. Skaven have so many things going for them that I don't see how any of them could possibly be in the bottom tiers. Cathay has a similar issue with having a very strong roster, magic, and the Yin Shugengan being one of the best generic lords for any faction - none of the dragons should be in bad tier because they are all strong.

    Tretch's strenght isn't the vermins. It's devastating flanker for his army. Get a 4 stack of AP wolfrats going turn 3 and you'll melt everything you touch with them.
    If anything his buffs to vermins are just there so your anvils are sturdier for the real killers of the army. Wolf rats, Death Runners, Doomwheels, Both Rat ogres, Brood horrors. Anything melee you can move around stuff quickly that wants to charge basically.
    He's not a cheesy specialized lord that just spams the one good unit they have, he's versatile above all and his campaign is perfect for who he is lore-wise. You'll never be top power but those campaign are a snoozefest of auto resolve, you want people to underestimate you give you wars so you get max ambush chance the second you kill skarsnik (Turn 4) and vanguard deploy on every armies you have for three turns. You can make a strong economy by Under-citying Zharr Nagrund, absolutely steamroll Drazhoath as long as you dodge the power creep nukes and kill Imrik's dragon with 4 tier 1 units.

His start is awful, and his campaign takes a bit to get off the ground but once you start getting your passive Infections/turn up so you can send waves of Plague Cultists to infect the Empire you can easily sit at max Plagues for his mechanic 24/7. It is a lot to micro, but worth it.
    Epidemius himself is just awesome… once he gets going. He took the support aspects of Kugath and dailed it up to eleven. Once you get his item set and his passives, he’s an absolute monster. Or rather, his super-buffed army is!

Just comparing the stats of units tamurkhan is likely going to be bringing into a battle versus pretty much anyone else, he's looking terrifying, then you add the power of all his legendary heroes to heal, shred enemy heroes, cast aoe spells (the guy who can spam pendulum) not sure in what possible way he's B tier.

    Why are Vampire Coast so low? Most people think their campaigns are great, even though there's been no updates for them.
    EDIT: Shipbuilding alone is a reason to give them at least a B Tier.
    EDITx2: Also you can just sail away, sail away, Enya-style, which means nearby starting terrain isn't an issue which is a big factor for you.

    The F teir is just too bloated without any proper reason. Wulfhart, sure he is difficult to play with, but that's his playstyle. Same with Epidemus with plagues, it is hard to spread a ton of plagues in the mid game, but not impossible, just play with the cards you are delt with. That is the great thing about this game, each faction has their own unique start and game plan, and dude Skarsnik in the F tier, that's just weird.
    The standard of this tier list seems to revolve around the freedom of each faction in their start position, which is kinda confusing because he seems to view every faction has the same game plan and strategy.

    TLDR; Not optimal, but having one or two good armies is also fun and should be also taken into ranking.
    Mostly agree with list, but here is my nooby two cents. What that "Must have several good armies" attitude with your videos? It's a sandbox and judging by achievements people rarely go for long victory. Take VCoast for example, secure (build walls) starting province in Lustria and go for very enthusiastic swim to old world, horde can recruit everywhere, get money from sacking/fighting, rarely AI would swim half map to screw you. The only downside you can't attack from see (WTF CA?). Or Tamurkhan: one province for units, two for gold/infections and then take another very enthusiastic walk to Nuln. Finally Malakai, you can travel without penalties and after dealing with Chaos and Norsca there is not a lot of enemies to deal with.

    Tbf he did say it was based on “replayability” which he doesn’t really define. However, some of the choices do feel like an attempt to generate controversy to help his struggling channel growth…though we are giving him his engagement so….i guess good job?? 😅
    Edited: meant to say ”replayability”

    • @Costin_Gaming
      @Costin_Gaming  5 місяців тому

      Replayability.
      This is perhaps something hard for some to understand. I imagine the average Total War player only plays a handful of races they like and a handful of LLs they like there. That's probably the norm. Hell over 90% of players have never finished ONE campaign.
      I play every race and every lord multiple times. Sure some more than others: I have dozens of campaigns as Kislev for instance, but still I do go out of my way.
      As for engagement sure I do want it, that's why I do certain videos but I don't make certain picks just for controversy: I really think Ikit Claw is overrated as hell. Same with Skarbrand.

  • @sieglindeeilserv8799

    Problem with Malekith and Hellebron is they get sucked north and east fighting demons instead of having a chance to go south to fight high elves. By time they get to Ulthuan most of the time Morathi, Noctilus, and N'Kari have already conquered the place leaving you to keep going east fighting norsca which suuuuucks as dark elves.
    Dark elves need to have watchtowers like in the lore that are maybe similar to the ones empire has.

    I feel like very few campaigns in TWW3 are worth playing more than once. Although I'm just finishing up a Malakai campaign and I do agree that this is the best campaign in the game currently. Still its suffers from the invented difficulty all TW campaigns have . The challenge is in the early to mid game. After that things get mostly trivial and late game is mostly cleanup. I do play on Legendary but it doesn't matter. TWW3 is a much easier game than TWW2, for better or worse.

      Especially with the triumphant return, if you say good bye to Cathay and come home. You can easily cheese getting Altdorf and Nuln to tier 5 extremely early on by capturing the main settlements and destroying the minor ones, just to settle in them afterwards. Gelt has the Ghorst syndrome of being so powerful and overpowered, that his campaign becomes boring. Not because he has to manually fight way too many battles, but because all of the empire struggles are non existent when you have two major, important settlements on tier 5 before you have any threats to your campaign. . . Printing money and heroes doesn't help that case either.

    I'd say Thorgrim is A tier for me, he has really good grudges around because of friendly Dwarf factions, Malakai struggles with that a bit.
    Volkmar and Markus yup lame campaigns and book of Nagash mechanics, or Lustria hostility is just big mehhh and annoying, Markus himself is weak Lord even as range, he only boosts army by a lot.

    The problem with Malakai is that its the easiest campaign i´ve ever played. Dwarves are way too strong since the change to the point where it feels like im cheating even on the hardest difficulties. Even post nerf theres not a single enemy anywhere in sight that can even deal with your doom baloon. For memes you can even delete your starting army n just use malakai, felix n gotrek with the doom baloon n still not encounter any resistance what so ever.
    To me a good campaign needs to offer some form of excitment, malakai is the most broken faction ive ever played.

One of the worst campaigns starting in an area that is bad terrain for your faction being attacked by tons of very strong daemons and if you do manage to fend them off chorfs come and ruin your day.

      Grombrindal: Has insane movement range and a fun campaign area and also with distant confederation has a ton of variety available to him. Also has the best dwarf climate situation along Malakai and Ungrim.
      Boris: Has the best starting army of any faction in the game, tons of power, steamrolls every enemy faction he encounters early on and because of his climate benefits has a a ton more possibilities of expansion, combined with good victory conditions that give me easy access to more heroes AND the ability to constant buff eco with Dazsh he's the best by far of Kislev.
      Taurox: Beastmen have a miserable early game due to all their limitations, Taurox is better to be sure but he's still got a lame early game.
      Tic Tac: His flying units are not that great and because of jungle and inherent Lizardmen issues has a slow pace.
