    deceivers need to have a random cult revealed whenever an army is defeated in battle to simulate the lord being interrogated. I think that'd make the campaign feel very high risk very high reward because your armies are in theory invincible, but if they get caught out you'll basically lose an entire settlement.

      This is a good idea but I don't think it is nearly enough. Your armies are almost always invisible and you pretty much choose all the battles you want to fight. How many battles are you really going to be loosing? I have only played one changeling campaign but I was at no point ever close to loosing even a single battle. Even if you mega fuck up and do loose a battle its only one settlement that is not a big deal at all to the changeling.

Let ai get chanse reveal and nuke settlements. and as ai gets stronger have bigger chanse reveal. So you should know that any setltlement will sooner or later get caught. Or something.

      @@SanguineYoru Many of the issues have been resolved over time. Super passive AI on hard difficulties that wouldn't ever engage, 80% of your battles were minor settlement fights, and various bugs that made some units underperform or be straight up unrecruitable (just a few things off the top of my head). The game is in a much better place now, so it's a good time to pick it up.

    Clan Angrund is now actually pretty dang fun now that they fixed his Eight Peaks reward. He is also fairly strong if you can take out the Skaven, Vampires and Beastmen to your West right from the start, because afterwards he'll have a very safe and rich position. Which is unlike the rest of the dwarves who are constantly surrounded by enemies.

    I personally put Ice court on S tier. A lot of people complain about it being a hard startpos, with attacks from all sides. This is why it's fun, the campaign forces you to make tough decisions, and the difficulty, while steep, is perfectly manageable if you know what you're doing. It also makes for an interestingly different campaign, where you spend a lot of it not painting the map, but instead trying to consolidate your home area. I probably played the Ice court more then any other warhammer 3 faction.

      Very fun campaign, but the mechanics are a bit less interesting than they could be. This is a clear case of an extremely interesting position, challenging and with fascinating roleplaying possibilities + amazing units, and amazing settlements. But it lacks that additional layer of depth, as their proprietary mechanics are generic, and their antagonism is very limited once chaos is dealt with, meaning that at some point it seems you are going to make enemies with people just for the sake of it (which spoils the aforementioned great roleplaying you could infuse in the campaign).

    I kinda feel Daniel could do with an actual research tree as well as his current stuff.
    Sure HE’S strong, but his armies, although varied, don’t get amazingly buffed.
    One of my favourite things is researching stat upgrades for units, and I feel even a small research tree would add that fun option beyond the dedication buffs.
    Not to mention researching upgrading army abilities. Seriously, the Khorne one hurts more than helps, and mid/late game with the Slaanesh buff let’s you seduce with a 1300 budget.
    A proper tech tree would really help the faction I think tbh, warriors of chaos get a mixed one when undivided, why not undivided daemons?

Additionally, since you can teleport anywhere in the world with Rifts and don't need to really defend anything, you can go support your ally directly no matter their starting location.

    Honestly it really changes with how many hours you put in to total war games. After a few thousand hours between the historical and fantasy games my taste for what interests me has changed quite a lot. Found myself really liking Isabella and stacking vampires in one strong overly condensed army; or having Blathasar flying around raining doom as one tactical piece to overcome the odds. Khorne is up there because 3 armies vs 20 and still winning due to micro managing mayhem is just dope as well. A lot of the other factions just fall very flat unfortunately after so many hours in to the same franchise.

  • @shanethesmith443
    @shanethesmith443 Рік тому +1

    For me the entire southern half of the map (except Oxyotl) is a tier lower than it otherwise would be, simply because anyone on that half of the map will have to contend with Kairos' inevitable empire, but Teclis definitely has it the hardest, so I agree with your assessment there. Oxyotl gets a pass because the land is useable for him and gets to fight Kairos early, while the Chameleon stalkers still counter most of the Tzeentch units.

    • @elzabethtatcher9570
      @elzabethtatcher9570 Рік тому +1

      Out of curiosity: do you usually leave the Vaults behind and come to Karak Eight Peaks with full strength early on, or do you actually keep the Vaults? In WH2 I struggled to keep the Vaults due to the goblin menace, so I took my armies across the badlands, which was quite fun. I don't feel the need to do that in WH3.

  • @Regnier575
    @Regnier575 Рік тому +4

    I love Nagarythes campaign in WH3. Ended up in wars from multiple directions which just kept me engaged. Really fun campaign.
    I enjoyed Malekith as I peaced out with the skaven after the first couple of battles then just b lined straight for Valkia and took her out early whilst the Dwarves were occupied, then helped the skaven kill the dwarves.

  • @GuiltyPleasures
    @GuiltyPleasures 10 місяців тому

    My most recent empire campaign in WH3 went very smoothly. I completely changed my tactics around and just sat about restoring - constantly - my electors' territory. I refused to confederate anyone until I was CERTAIN I could defend that territory.
    I played the campaign very defensively. While I have several armies, they are mostly "defensive" in their composition, mostly spearmen and crossbowmen (b/c they can fire OVER the walls) with very little in terms of gunpowder or cavalry. They're really just meant to defend walled cities, and they're quite strong at that, especially when you add in a couple of mortars.
    I don't think my Imperial Authority has dipped negative once this entire campaign. Just have to be very picky about what to build and when, what to recruit and when, and when to engage (to keep losses low so foreign soil regen keeps you topped off). The last place you wanna be is helping an elector and your army sitting at around 25% manpower, because you'll die.
    Empire is ABSOLUTELY not geared to be played in the say was as something like Beastmen or Archaon.

  • @Grivehn
    @Grivehn Рік тому +1

    Confederation limits is why I use the Recruit Defeated LL mod. Also the fact its nigh impossible to get some Lords in a confederation when playing as another, even in Wh3 where AI doesnt confed as much. It also helps TK, Vcoast and Chaos factions.
    I just had a blast with Skarbrand where my 2nd army was led by Nkari. Not very lore friendly, but fun.
    Personally largely agree with the S tier list. Those DLC factions just deserve to be up there, they have winner mechanics and everybody knows that. Same with how base factions have NOTHING special or unique, which is why playing Mazda or Malekith in SFO feels way more rewarding. The rest is personal preference and the fact Legend plays on legendary only. Like he doesnt like vampires only because theyre not challenging enough to him, but there isnt anything inherently wrong with their campaigns at all.
    I still dont think the dark elves are as bad as everyone makes them out to be, but they definitely need to get THEIR OWN slave mechanics back. Not having healing (only limited access by characters) also makes them way harder than lot of other races who can just heal to full every battle.
    After playing Ogres, I also dont think the camp/meat mechanic is that bad as to hinder the campaign. You can get to lategame stacks super early as Ogres, which means you can diss all the lame gnoblars and just trample fools in your way. Their shooting is kinda janky though. Ironblasters are meh since the nerf because of pvp and Leadbelchers will shoot friendlies in the back if youre not careful.
    I had HE, Skaven, DE, Lizards and TK as my clear personal top5 in Wh2, in that order. I just like elves and big monsters. But playing Chaos or Norsca was just miserable. Didnt play enough Beastmen either, and thematically I like them the least of all factions anyhow.
    That definitely changed with Wh3. I still love HE and Skaven... but I do think WoC, especially Belakor, is firmly in the top3 now. Outside top3, I honestly have no idea. Lizards and TK feel kinda dated now, and whilst the monster mash is fine still, there are contenders. DE is still around, so are WE. I like Cathay more than I thought I would, same with Ogres and Khorne. Chaos Dwarfs have also been phenomenal.
    It honestly feels good to say I do like most, if not all factions right now. Only havent played Nurgle, but on SFO I wager even they would be fun. And I do like Daniel honestly.. all demon armies with a bunch of RoRs even with the horrible disintegration mechanic are just really powerful mid-to late game.

  • @method138
    @method138 Рік тому +6

    This is exactly what I wanted. I dont care how strong a faction is, I wanna know which ones are fun. Still looking for a campaign that doesnt get boring after the first 20 turns, altough that seems to be the case for most factions once you've stabilized and have an army that can autoresolve basically anything

    • @ethanwilliams1880
      @ethanwilliams1880 Рік тому

      Play Katarin. You have to cleanse everything, because your AI Empire neighbors and Kostaltyn will just get their asses kicked.
      You have the early campaign: consolidating the area around you, fighting off Clan Moulder and Azhag, and maybe conquering Sylvania if you have time. The the midgame kicks in right away, because as soon as you get over all that, Norsca and all the Chaos factions are coming south for you, and you fight over the Norscan provinces with them, and sometimes the Chaos dwarves. All the while you have the tools to succeed, but enemies abound. Then, after all that, you have a crusade, the invasion of the Chaos Wastes to destroy your enemies once and for all.
      Autores for Kislev can also really kick you in the teeth sometimes, so you will definitely continue to manual some battles, especially against powerful Chaos warbands led by the LLs. But not enough to get annoying imo, like lizardmen sometimes get.

    I used to agree on Skarbrand but after playing him a few times he's just TOO EASY. Strength rank 1 by turn 3, level 50 LL by turn 20, is fantastic until you realize it also comes with the tedium of managing a -20K economy every turn and maneuvering 10 armies all over the place so early in the campaign. The amount of army management Khorne does on turn 10 is similar to any other faction at turn 100 which is about where I burn out from it.

But even though I had no visible or saved receipt, manscaped immediately sent me another one after 1 email from me explaining. The second 2.0 lawn mower lasted about 6 months before breaking. I was done, but emailed them again complaining about the waterproof ad being false. I then received a new lawn mower 3.0 still free of charge and they put me on a 1 year free monthly subscription… Ive never felt so much like a Karen but I felt the complaints necessary and Ive used this same 3.0 lawn mower for about 3 years now with no issues and I now happily pay for their monthly subscriptions.

    Golden Order should be S tier. After you complete the first objective you can choose to stay in Cathay or go home and get 0 cost on all armies for 10 turns. If you plan ahead early game you can return home with a few stacks and swarm a nearby faction like Couronne to get a strong starting position. Not to mention loads of campaign abilities like instant unlimited recruitment for mages at any settlement (don't even need the mage building tree), giving yourself free gold, replenishing army movement, lots of cataclysm spells, and factionwide winds of magic cost reduction. You can also make bank selling settlements to Franz. The AI will pay all the gold they have for your uninhabitable tier one norsca settlements on the brink of rebellion.

Yes, staying in the wastes is annoying but if you go south and make a stand there the campaign can be quite enjoyable. I completed his campaign multiple times and played even beyond long victory because I was having fun. I also really hope that Nurgle gets some love with the next update.

Having 100% Warhammer 2 with very hard campaign and hard battles I want to try and do the same with 3 over time, so ill defiantly try some of the higher rated campaigns I haven't played yet. Was a bit disappointed with the chaos dwarf campaign, the heroes were great but didn't like the cap mechanics and how long it took to get higher units. Maybe i'm playing Lizard boys wrong because I really didnt enjoy the campaign i did in Warhammer 2, maybe I need to give them another go.

    I actually really enjoyed Sartosa, up to a certain point. Cuz at the end of the day, the thing that sets your faction apart are still tier 1 units. While fairly strong, they cant put up a fight against higher tier stuff. So you'll have to replace them with higher tier infantry, at which point you're just a default Vampire coast lord without anything special aside from some cool fighting animations.
