    I used to care so much about corruptions , now I just get money buildings instead, plus strugoi bloodline give 60% less penalty for lack of corruption which makes it pointless to spend any money on corruption

    A couple of points that you likely knew but simply didn't have time to put in: Ghorst's army can be the cheapest to build and maintain due to his INSANE buffs to Zombies in battle. Between his own army buffs, his tech tree, plus the generic research, Zombies in his army are almost impossible to kill. Zombies in his faction are only a little worse since many of his buffs are faction-wide. As Heinrich Kimmler, if you take the two forts that guard the passes through the mountains, it's easier to fend off the Empire and enemies from the East.

    Good guide. Each faction is pretty unique, so it’s nice to have some things explained further. I am just getting into Warhammer, and only just completed my first Immortal campaign (conquered all territory, no endgame scenarios) as the Grand Cathay. I remembered the Vampires being stubborn opponents plus being pretty cool, but I think I borked my first attempt as I engaged the neighboring Empire faction at like turn 10 and my two armies got stomped. Knowing more of the mechanics and the value of embedding heroes (something that made little difference for Grand Cathay) will be helpful.

    currently playing Sylvania for the first time. I'm very proud of my first start. I decided to be "Good", and try to get a good relationship with the Empire. What I didn't realize is that's the 'right' way to to play them (They have a lot of perks, and skills that give +30, or 40 diplomacy with Empire, Kislev, Brettonia and Cathay). Now my kingdom is encased by a ton of allied human factions, with my faction slithering out, and attacking horde, and chaos faction, while my faction sits at a safe distance.

    Thanks for the vid! Tbh, Mannfred looks kinda OP in the long term compared to the other VC LLs, not only does he have the best chances of confederating every other VC faction (which I feel like should be Vlad's thing as in lore the other vampires kkinda dislike Mannfred and don't want to fight besides him) but the faction effects granted for collecting Nagash's books are insane and can be doubled through his unique building. I'm a bit sad for the other VC lords and especially for my boï Vlad whom despite being the founder of the bloodline feels so lackluster in comparison. I really do hope we'll get to see some rework/rebalancing/tweaking to make at least some of the other VC LLs at least half as appealing as Mannfred.

    • @Lord_Game
      @Lord_Game 2 роки тому

      His Skilltree doesnt boost anything tho. Just Stats and he gets 2 Lores of Magic. No campaign/unit buffs. But yes, Vlad (and also Isabella) could need a little rework in their skill tree, the only thing vlad has right now, is his insane regeneration, but he doesnt buff anything quite like Ghorst or Kemmler

      @Nolrach 2 роки тому +1

      @@Lord_Game Yeah but the fact that his skill tree doesn't boost anything doesn't make it any less appealing, in fact it's the opposite: the only way you can benefit from his great Books of Nagash mechanics, research rate and diplomacy bonuses is to pick Mannfred as your faction leader. Whereas you can just confederate the other VC LLs and benefit from the great faction-wide bonuses/perks some of them can give since they get a lot of these perks through their skill trees as opposed to faction effects.

    Appreciate that you hovered over all the techs, noticed that their is a 100% income increase for late game economy buildings for vampires, hopefully extra $ compensates for formally having free armies in wh2 (since elite vampire units are very $)

    • @mainzer45
      @mainzer45 2 роки тому

      The base buildings only have 25/50 income so it's not an insane amount. It is a building you do make a lot of due to it providing extra hero slots, the income is just a small bonus though since its t4 and t5 buildings so it comes when you already have a strong economy anyway.

  • @alexc5243
    @alexc5243 2 роки тому +2

    I love Heinrich Kemmler, but his starting location is so hard.
    Everyone just declares war on me right away and when I finally conquer them, it causes me to meet other factions that will also declare war on me. I just get spread so thin in all directions. Starting sandwiched between Couronne and Reikland on higher difficulties is no joke.
    Not to mention, when you finally take out Couronne/Carcassone, you meet the high elves and they’ll relentlessly send army after army nonstop.

    • @Manpigeon
      @Manpigeon Рік тому

      Just started this game and this is my first playthrough. A lot of odd or irregular stuff has happened on my campaign map. The High Elves appear to be completely suppressed by Slaanesh but Norsca and Belakor are fighting constantly on that Island. I didnt destroy his stronghold but I cut down Belakor's main forces pretty early on so he is not very much of a threat to me aside from the occasional coastal raid on me or my vassals land. The biggest threat lately has been the Wood Elves who keep declaring war on me. They come and siege one of my cities and then I wipe their army out and relatiate by sacking their cities for money in a cycle. I never stay for long though. I dont want to border the Dwarves again just yet and the attrition sucks. Oddly enough the Empire Factions hate me but appear to be too scare to declare war. The Skaven down South appear to like me for some reason so they are my defensive ally and trading partner. I dont know how but somehow I am the number one ranked military force on the map right now. Most of my armies are comprised of Necromancers, a single Wight, and lots of zombies with a few skeletons.

    I think the bottom line on Lords is so practical to have early on. Lighting strike is always usefull to have

    • @SGProductions87
      @SGProductions87 Рік тому

      IMO lightning strike is really unnecessary early on and going for it early game as vampires really slows how powerful your lords can become. The priority early on should always be Invocation of Nehek, Curse of Undeath, Vanhel's Danse Macabre and Raise Dead. Compared to those, the red and blue lines are underwhelming. The exception to this comes when you're saturated with lords and heroes later in the game who have all got these abilities and can support your new developing lord. Then, he can go for lightning strike or whatever else you want.

  • @SGProductions87

    • @danisrusski6297
      @danisrusski6297 Рік тому

      The thing is that you don't really want most of your armies full of elite units. A couple doomstacks of terrogheists, varghulf, vampire heroes, or wight king heroes is all you need to crack the toughest enemies in the game. All other armies are better as skeleton spearmen with a lord and a few necromancers or vampires for more magic. Your lords and heroes are soooo strong with their magic and the skeleton spam so cheap, that you can have A LOT of armies with strong lords, drowning your enemies in a wave of skeletons while dropping wind of death everywhere.
      Of course, on lower difficulties anything is good, but VH/VH or Legendary sort of requires this playstyle

      +10% movement range is not "really bad". You can pick up an additional 35% in campaign through the skill tree, research, 5 turns march stance or being at sea 5 turns, or killing Tik'tak'to, but this takes a lot of time and the 10% you get with Vlad is right now and any additional movement you can get could be the difference between catching an enemy/settlement or not, or escaping from destruction or not.
