As a huge settra fan this campaign is my favorite so far. Feels like another southlands thunderdome but like settra, Drazoath has the power to fight and win his situation. Also gotta love those early game caravans
I loaded in, looked around and realized my hands are rated E for Everyone. Took out orks, then Imrik, lost 2 of my 3 starting settlements to Skaven, looped around and smacked their teeth out. Beastmen razed my 2 settlements again, so I smacked them out, taking out the northern orks and looping around because I see some Dawi in the mountains that need a grudgin. It is difficult, it's tedious, but by Hashut it feels good to just slug everyone around in such a fashion people start giving me peace treaties and cash because they don't want me looking at them next
That’s the problem with this campaign, Asgtrogath has it similar, but at least you gain good territories in the war, Drazhoath feels like you run around fighting constantly and gaining nothing. Not saying Astrogath is easier, it took me 3 starts to find balance in how to play it out and once you get rid of Azhag and UNgrim you secure west flank and finally deal with grimgor. with drazoath you have to fight wars which are tedious (skaven, helman etc)
I had the same start but instead of the skaven, Goldtooth and his ogres attacked while I was 1 turn away from taking Imrik's last settlement. Ogres took two of my starting provinces including my capitol. Made my way back and retook them but a rebellion spawned.. Chaos warriors attacked my capitol which had just been in the ogres hands.. Quit the campaign and I opened this video.. :D
been a pretty fun campaign, i picked drazhoath for my first chaos dwarf campaign. tretch, ogres, random beastmen, other chaos dwarfs all trying to murder me early on. thankfully imrik is being chill, because grimgor is pressuring the north now. also at war with a lot of cathay because i was farming their convoys for labor, might have to pay for that eventually. definitely a spicy start position. only nearby ally i have is the disciples of hashut because i gave them a settlement early on to secure them as a bulwark against crooked moon and the greentide.
Great video! Tretch’s skavenslaves stacks will absolutely grind down your chaff, so I found out that good flanking with your blunderbussses is essential to victory
I like that he starts in the corner in the drill campaign - two fewer borders to guard. I also love the ashcloud spell, slowing enemies right in front of my blunderbusses.
Giving Tretch Mount Grey Hag, got him off my back completely. Non aggression and trade sorted. Made me deal with ogres and Kugath without trouble from the East. Legendary/Very hard. And you always get to Mount Grey Hag before him, so it's easy to do every time.
just finished every single campaign victory condition with drazoath. i own half the world. most fun ive ever had with warhammer. the biggest hurdle by far was the first 20 turns against tretch and imrik. grimgor only hit one settlement over and over again.
In my campaign, not only did I not go to war with trench craven tail, but I also actually got a nonaggression pact with him so I haven’t had to deal with him at all
I keep dreadquake building. It's like a small ikit claw nuke crossed with a meteor shower. If you aim it right and your enemy can't run away in time, they dead. Plus you get 2 charges baseline with techs to increase it later on.
I formed a non aggression pact with tretch by turn 10 by putting 2 stacks of hobgoblins outside of his base, then moved directly towards azag, crushed him and ungrim by turn 30. ghorst has taken like 9 settlements and now im dealing with him defending pig barter at turn 40. its fun as hell but tough, it kinda feels like your nazi germany, you have the most furious crazy/genius leader and best economy and tech but your at war with absolutely everyone.. except some sneaky and numerous rats (Japan lmao) crazy you also enslave people for labour and kill them by the droves for political leverage .... damn the Ashen one is war hammers Adolf :/
Well the thing about Grimgor is you might reduce him to 1 settlement but unless the AI conquers him he'll just 3 full stack up and running in no time. If he manages to get a provincial capital to tier 5 he'll start spamming Black Orcs and then it's GG. At least on Legendary.
His starting units are trash. That bombardment ability has been tough to use. Enemies move out of the way when they aren't engaged and it wrecks your own units if the enemy is engaged.
I've found it best is to rush Draz into a group and blob 'em up as much as you can, THEM bomb them. You'll take minimal damage, but 2-3 units will get wiped.

Had to give up my first drazoath campaign on turn 15 cause all the neighbors declared war on me, it's thunderdome 2.0 in the south😅

Wow, I did not expect how unique mechanics this DLC will bring. Very new game experience. I love it! Complex but rewarding.
Those mechanics were in the game just not in one faction, but yes this is fun :)

I somehow had Tretch not declare war on me before I took on Imrik. Taking out Imrik caused him to like me now we have a non aggression pact.

In my campaign I got lucky and Grimgor got beaten by Zhatan he is still around but has like 3 settlement's.
Well the thing about Grimgor is you might reduce him to 1 settlement but unless the AI conquers him he'll just 3 full stack up and running in no time.
