I remember playing Imrik on ME, words cannot describe the heavy lifting that fire wizard did in the start.
Mikaela 🤗
Ah yes, the HE campaign where your best ally is the Dwarves. Also those Ogres just don't know when they are beaten. Diplomacy with Ogre clan down to 1 minor settlement and no army: Ogres: "I didn't hear no bell".
It's all fun and games until you hear "Legendoftotalwar here with another saving your disaster campaign" as you're besieging that last settlement
A campaign I'll definitely play but after the Chaos Dwarfs are added
I’ll be doing the same for Grimgor
hope it would stop grimgmor of just KILL EVERYTHING ALALAL
It's CA. How do you know they won't make it worse?
CHAOS DWARFS?!
And this now happens sooner than we had thought.
I personally would be really curious about campaigns most fitting for the "Ultimate Challenge" that you mentioned
Imrik was my most played campaign in WH2, I just started one in WH3 and found it to be very relaxing compared to WH2. You have so many options to where to go first, but the enemies that you do not kill at beginning will come at you at some point, notably Clan Mors and Grimgor. Also you can actually get alliance going with Helman Ghorst, so you don't have to worry about him.
It's funny how chill Ghorst is with the order factions in the region lol. He will try and ally with you of his own accord if you play as either dragon, very useful since he shuts down Nurgle completely.
yeah i found that quite interesting for a vampire faction, as long as we had a mutual enemy or two i could work with him
Ghorst was my only friend the last time I did imrik, and he got his shit rocked as soon as grimgore showed up. Also that minor dwarf faction to the west never lasts long. Oh yeah and now there's a chorf faction nearby. The campaign is brutal
@@nonesuch6833 Im on turn 60 right now and for about the entire campaign Ghorst has kept Nurgle contained in the island he starts at lol. They have been at war and everything too!
One of the things I like about Imrik in 3 vs 2 is the addition of bridges around Pigbarter, just because those rivers were such a pain to navigate while Eshin could tunnel under them with no problem.
The graphics are absolutely stunning. The lighting is awesome and the campaign map is utterly beautiful. The WH2 map was totally fine, but this one just shines, each place looks very distinct.
A Valkia review would be insightful. I really enjoy the warriors of Chaos but Grombrindl and Maliketh always seem ally and gang up on me.
...and you can't squash them? 😂
@@agps4418 Emoji in comment, opinion invalid
@@agps4418 this is what I was thinking too like valkia is so strong.
I commented on this a few vids ago. If you don't rush Malekith ASAP the campaign is extremely difficult, cause no matter how much you try to cosy up with him he will declare war on you. I usually take Ghrond's capital and vassalise them so that you can focus on Malekith literally asap, and in my experience by vassalising Ghrond it prevents Har Ganeth declaring war on you and dragging you eastwards
just vassalize all the dark elves as valkia. that gives you a buffer to your dark fortresses and your vassals will start fighting the factions you haven't vassalized yet. valkia's army is strong af too, so grombrindal and malekith are barely a problem, especially since you fight them early game when they still have trash units and you basically have a stack full of khornate chaos warriors with some chosen if you've been fighting a lot and ranked up your units.
also, i recommend peacing out with ghrond and going eastward to take out sigvald and take his dark fortress and get that sweet +10% phys res defeat trait, then make your way back west to vassalize the dark elves
Thanks for doing these! I'd love to see Cylostra next.
Dragons?
Dragons!
Dragons!
After like 6 tries I finally beat a and imrik campaign in TW2. I got lucky that grimgore didn't know I existed until I wiped out ikit claw and malus. Then I spent the entire game fighting grimgore in a push pull, he had conquered well up into the empire at that point , has exterminated all the dwarves, and was pumping out armies almost faster than I could wipe them. When I finally took him out all the "good" races were so happy with me I was getting a military alliance each turn. That was my last victory condition. It was a slog but I'm glad I finally got it
Edit* clan ishin
This series is really great for getting people back into playing WH III. I think I might start another Eltharion run!
Imrik's campaign was pretty interesting when I did a playthrough. Though I essentially found myself relocating into the Dragon Isles and having to abandon the Fortress of Vorag because I got double teamed by Rictus and Mors. After the relocation, the campaign did become a lot easier as I was able to establish an alliance with Cathay and Greasus, and then concentrate on returning west.
FIrst play through, I tried to hold fortress of vorag and killing rictus was easy but then you have greenskins and skaven coming in from everywhere with no money to field the number of armies you need when you have such spread out settlements. While I could survive I couldn't expand because I had to be so careful with the Skaven to not get ambushed and they could use the underway to jump all around and go for my cities easily. tried again and just relocated to dragon isles and yeah so much easier
i'm surprised legend didn't mention just bee lining it for dragon isles since that area is so much more defensible and kugath is easy to take out early game when he's still consolidating his province.
Campaign reviews. My favorite content.
I never notice trade no longer required route, always just thought that it's because Cathay have caravan.
Probably one of the fightier HE campaigns.
Even more if you are running meme campain about conquering Miao Ming ASAP
@@indrickboreale7381 flirtier even
Compared to wh3, some aspects are easier and some harder I feel. One blessing is is that ishin is no longer around with that annoying bog to the east that you had to move through is gone, but now you have chorfs to your NE. Its nice that Cathay is close by to trade with but getting pincered by orcs, ogres, skaven and chorfs and nurgle is pain
A big advantage Imrik has, especially if you fuck up early-game, is the geography. Once you get your starting position secured, you're boxed in by mountains which force your enemies to come through choke points, and it normally takes at least two to three turns for them to actually reach your settlements too. I lost my main army to an ambush from Tretch, and had that annoying thing where the AI smells blood and every fucking faction around you declares war, which would kill some other campaigns but because of the mountains I was able to fight a guerrilla campaign against numerous superior enemies with Alith Anar (who I got through the recruit defeated legendary lords mod). Made for quite a fun and narratively interesting campaign.
This is the hardest campaign I’ve ever played between the skaven and the waaaghing crooked moon there’s just too many fronts
Honestly it's been my experience that every faction north of the starting position declares war on you within 15 turns, and every faction to the east does so by turn 8. I'm not sure why legend didn't mention the northern front at all.
I really like these videos short but with all the information you need it really helps out what campain you might wanna try and you dont have to sit there for 15min of rambling
Its a really great idea i hope you will do all the lords in this style
Imrik starts right next to Nagashizzar, which is Tier 5. Once he's on his dragon and with a few items and dragon quests complete he can conquer it around turn 25-30. Giving you a tier 4 settlement early in the game. If you can cheese the Nagashizzar battle with saved lords, you can possibly take it around turn 5, but I haven't done that on a recent patch.
DRAGON DRAGON DRAGON DRAGON
Is it possible for these faction reviews to give a couple of the most solid starting tips for each faction? Where to move, who to fight, the best units... I don't think that would significantly lengthen the video, but informative would make it a lot more useful!
But thanks anyway!
First person to fight is a choice of Kugath or everyone with their extended family. Either way you will fight the latter as Imrik
I feel like this video as well as several others needs a redo now that Chaos Dwarfs are out. Imrik's campaign is completely different now with Chaos Dwarfs on his starting border at the Black Fortress.
Would love to see your thoughts on Arkhan!
I really enjoy having the buffed vampire units, vassalizing random factions by gifting less-needed settlements, and basically ignoring the books because many are far and most aren't impactful
Short should i Play Imrik: Do you Like Dragons? Of yes Play Imrik, if Not dont.
More factions than not can field dragons. He has some quest battled. Very overrated lord
I would really like to hear your thoughts on alith anar
SIGGY NEXT 😈🪞
There are no good elves, but Imrik comes close.
Grimgor's not so bad for Imrik now because he doesn't have a bunch of orks (including Wurzzag) nearby that he can beat over the head to triple his land holdings by turn 20 nor is he near a second capitol with a second money-making resource for him to snowball with early.
Can you still cheese the dragon encounters like in WH3?
Imrik was hands down the strongest HE faction in WH2 if you did that. Getting 45% phys res, massive armour piercing bonuses, speed, fire res, perfect vigour and so on for ALL units for basically hundreds of thousands of turns is unpararelled in WHII.
It enabled doomstacking basically all units, even spearmen. Dragonkights and Phoenix Guard reached ~85% phys res if I recall correctly. You just needed to collect the lesser moondragon as well.
Grom the Paunch! or Sisters of Twilight!
Playing as Greasus, Imrik is a huge thorn in my side. Really feel like he should be preoccupied with chaos dwarfs
Now that you've returned to a race you've already done, instead of doing one for every race first, I strongly dislike this video format. I wish you were doing a RACE review, doing this for every lord of that race in ONE video. I feel this format is spamming my sub-box.
Just my 2 cents. Not saying I'm right or you're wrong.
When this dude has all 6 dragons, he's unstoppable.
Could you do eltharion next for the high elves? Would love to know your opinion.
By far my favourite
Can you review a Vampire Coast campaign next?
Could you review Kholek Sun Eater, please?
would love to see Kemmler, right now he is getting dogpilled left and right at his starting position.
As someone who's played this campaign a few times in TWW3 I have to say Grimgore is by far the biggest issue and really the only issue you will face if you can take out Rictus, Kugath and Helman quickly you should really then focus on the north and deal with Grim asap.
Any plans to update this after patch 3.0?
Pretty boy settra back to kick some ass guys.
For the next video I’d love to see what you consider to be the most challenging campaign in WH3 while still being fun to play
kislev probably
Yeah probably katarin.
Sisters of Twilight next please?
What's your opinion on confederating Caledor? Should I do that atleast for establishing diplomatic contact, or should I actually try to hold the province?
I confederate them and then sell the cities to Tyrion if I can't hold them. Until I decide that I can't hold them then they are just money for me and more than you would get from having a trade agreement with caledor. Just make sure you get a dragon encounter before the finishing that mission and take the influence so you are welcome at court and you can get trade agreements with all the High elves around you. If you are strong enough dreadfleet won't bother you and that has been the main concern in ulthuan when I play.
No more stalking imrik on his dragon!
Kugath the stinky man himself
First!
If you want a challenge with Imrik, go East first. Kill off Ghorst and Kugath. By the time you're done, the rats will be out in number and moles will get wacked for quite some time. Individual rat stacks aren't that hard, but they're all over, they ambush, they underway stance off, they march stance out of range.
Note to self, never let a sleeping rat lie. Zombies and sickos can wait, always burn the rats first.
Wonder if you could bulk these vids out a little by speaking a little about how each lord plays, their unique campaign/ability mechanics and broadly how their campaign is likely to progress; like how with most high elf factions you would want to secure ultuan first, then focus on DE's/chaos etc from the north, while having good relations with lizards/bretonnia etc for trade.
A wee bit off topic. I almost convinced myself to get wh3 but I heard that one of recent patches made game unplayable due to the CTDs when trying to recruit lord or hero. Is that true? Was that fixed?
TECLITH NEXTH
I'd like to see Taurox campaign as mine seem completely bugged. Weird things happening, and when I decided to take the waypoint in the sea near his starting position he just disappeared from the world. I could press end turn but when it was my turn to play, I couldn't find his army anywhere.
"Campaigns are easier in w3"
*cries in roasted edgy mamma boy*
Yeah malekith got the short end of the stick here
@@james-97209 yeah, surrounded by the metal beard grampa and the metal abs mommy
In WH 2 the best campaing for me
This was for me too until the Wargrove of Woe released.
Which High Elves campaign do you most recommend for a challenge if not Imrik?
Elven Targaryen.
Currently playing an Imrik campaign and am almost done. Have over half the map under my control and all the high elf factions save for Tyrion confederated.
Dragons, dragons, dragons
Malus darkblade
Thanks for the review!
I'm curious about Alith Anar or the Heralds of Ariel
N'kari next
Do eltharion
Throt the unlcean. Should we push kraka drak or we need fight against Konstalin ?
Skrag next plz 💪
I always hated Imrik starting position in TWW2, it just took forever to move to anywhere really.
Morathi!
you should doo festus, starting in the middle of the empire the enemy variety is pretty low but they all hate you so expanding with your shit army is pretty hard. at least to me.
Loved Imrik campaign I painted the map with him I do wish however he had different dragons to get on each corner of the map that would make it a lot more interesting
Lovely campaign, boris next maybe? Nurgle review ?
Can't wait to hear your thoughts on Ku'gath lol
Here, I'll save legend the time. First 10 turns? Fine. Turn 11? Helman Ghorst immediately dogpiles on you with 3 full stacks, including a mortis engine and his liber noctis. Tldr version: get fucked.
Could you do Thorgrim Grudgebearer next?
I still love high elves and dragons, so I like imrik. And hard/very hard is how I like to play. I am overdue to try him in wh3
I might give imrik a try next. Do Oxyotl legend!
You could do one of these every day for the next 2 months and still not be done.
i watched a grimgor get killed by an NPC orc faction, had rictus and poxmakers team up to play ring around the rosey with my settlements, had helman ghorst get completely fucked turn 10 by poxmakers, and had the ogres to the bottom right declare war on me and send their army after me turn 4, and this was all the while i had no idea who was below me. this campaign feels like a disaster.
so i really would like to know, how in the seven hells do i beat this? is confederating the good play (i didnt confed caledor)? am i supposed to prio killing rictus off the bat? do i beat up ghorst off the bat? i chose to retaliate against the ogres after their army was defeated and collect on the 2 open settlements. this felt really worthless as poxmakers and rictus decided to give me the sunday night super slam treatment to everything i owned effectively forcing me into a guerilla war.
A lot of these are going to change when Chaos Dwarfs come out!
Enjoying these. Volkmar?
helman makes an easy ally but maybe thats why no other elves wanted to deal with me xD
Maybe Morathi? She got some new Slanesh
Skarsnik next!
Imrik campaign isn't as boring as the other Elven campaigns due to starting position, imo.
This campaign CAN go terribly wrong. In mine, all the dwarves were annihilated pretty early on by Crooked Moon, Wurzag and Azhaz. I was sandwitched between 4 whaagh factions (grimgor as well) who all declared war on me each one with about 10 settlements, Archaon to the north, and Goldtooth and Nurgle to the east. I had to make an alliance with Neferata's vampires to whom I gifted all the northern regions I took from Grimgor because I couldn't hold them because of Archaon and in order to make a buffer state that gives attrition. I also had to ally temporarily with that Roses Vampire Faction until he also turned on me. It was the most hectic campaign of my 1000 hours I've played this game.
I will NEVER forget that campaign. EVER.
I'm jealous. The ai in my campaigns is usually pretty boring and predictable. Although in my current one as the slayer dwarf faction Franz keeps raiding my territory in captured Sylvania. Like wtf bro? Don't you have anything better to do now that drycha and the carsteins are wiped out?! Also I thought humans and Dwarves were best bros
After chorfs dlc, I would like to see the update on Imrik campaign. Personally, I still can't figure out how to fight against these little chaos bastards as Imrik
step 1: take Nagahizaar
Step 2: cross fingers
Streamers always recommending hard, very hard, or legendary difficulty campaigns which is fine to each it’s own but I play on normal & is curious to why people insist you crank the difficulty up…never understood that, like normal is more than enough for me lol
On normal you get cheats, which makes it super duper easy. You can auto resolve nearly every battle. You will also not really get better at the game, because many things that work in normal will get you fucked in higher difficulty.
If you just want to crush some shit it is nice, but if you are looking for more meaningfull descissions, you need to use higher difficulty.
Oh and ultra unitscale, if your pc can handle it. For me that feels like a different (better) game.
@@Numaron93 Normal is normal. You don't get any cheats. You get cheats on easy, while on hard and up the AI gets cheats. Also, the autoreslove cheats depend on battle difficulty, while I believe that Legend and Kiing Tutt speak about campaign difficulty.
Harder in settings doesn't mean harder in game. More fights equal more income, so you get stronger quicker in higher difficulties.
Fighting weak armies doesn't net you nearly as much gold either.
Plus it's easier to find out what you should be doing with each faction. You will pay for your mistakes.
In easier difficulty, a victory will make you feel like you made the right decisions but you probably were just lucky to get away with questionable choices.
Also high threat factions should remain a threat. It's warhammer fantasy, not world of warcraft... No shame in losing vs a strong opponent, just try another strategy and find out what works best.
I also play normal and I think thats just fine. Dont want cheats, dont want the AI to have cheats, simple as that
a lot of total war viewers have been playing total war since rome total war in 2004 or medieval 2 in 2006. after playing for almost two decades, a lot of these same players have become really skilled at total war formula games. higher difficulties then become preferable, otherwise the game might become too easy or stale. still, i think people should play on any difficulty they want, i think streamers are just speaking to these total war veterans in their videos.
Greasus Goldtooth since you are there anyway.
I really like Imrik.
Do Belegar Ironhammer next.
Imrik's campaign is a hard start but if you can get passed that first 20 turns, it becomes a steam roll. Pushing west will cause the Skaven to come at you early, so don't do that unless you're good at the game hah.
Thanks for the video
Settra ofcourse
Does Khemri have a tough time of it in Immortal Empires these days?
Vlad von Carstein next?
What's up with clan carrion to the south, they seem to never leave their capital, is it intended or a bug? Now it is best to just ignore them completely, they are cooked up there and create multiple armies, doing a rat hive with which you really cannot do much without extreme losses.
Naa, they're just isolationist and sit in Nagashizzar. You have to take 2-3 armies in there.
It's intended to make Nagashizzar difficult to take for the factions interested in the landmark.
Wow u just popping these videos out
You're attacked on 4 fronts without much chokepoint since skaven can bypass moutain so... not easy... the western dwarf is your best friend
It's rather ironic that nurgle just got stuck in the one place that will have the most fire damage going against him in the whole map...
Settra next?
Hi Legend,
Which unit size do you reccommend?
the highest your computer can handle.
@@LegendofTotalWar well I'm upgrading my GPU soon. So that would be the largest then.
