Valkia the Bloody is so much fun. People declare war on me, I go raze their settlements, they sue for peace, I refuse.

Do they demand 10000 gold for peace while you are about to raze their last settlement?

The warriors of chaos campaign is extremly easy compared to others but its a lot of fast paced fun. They can be done in a small fraction of the time of a regular campaign.

Which is hilarious because it was the total opposite in Mortal Empires. Chaos was a nightmarish slog that you had to cheese to grind through on the higher difficulties.

Of course, but you always decline and just do your thing. I only allow peace/non-aggression against some annoying factions that I don't want to bother chasing around (Skaven for example).

Super stoked about how fun Karl Franz's campaign is right now. This battle was a desperate attempt to rescue Middenland from certain destruction by Festus (thus wrecking my Imperial authority) and the actual battle itself was so fun.

This decisive battle effectively ruined Festus as a threat and allowed me to stabilize and grow my campaign from there to focus on Vlad who was also being a problem elsewhere on the map.

I don't have the game yet but did they improve the color scheme and fonts to make it more readable? From all the screenshots I've seen, the text and numbers jump out to me. I'm fairly certain it wasn't like that in WH2 because I just played it a few weeks ago. Or maybe it's my settings and I'm just dreaming lol.

Sooo... I played some (just on normal/normal, in ME I ususally did normal/hard or very hard

.

Skaven/Snikch run. He starts in a 4 province region (just owning one settlement at first)... Once you get that region a bit developed, Cathay is your oyster. While after some time just about everyone around me declared war (except my dear chaos boys), nothing ever felt even remotely dangerous (including the Vampire Crysis).

WoC/Kholek: WoC is plain broken, the Vassal mechanic is just op. I totally suck at WoC/Hordes and did tons of errors, still burnt/vassalised the world from northern cathay thru the empire into nagarrond, while floating 100k Gold... All that stops you is boredom. But is it just me or is WoC movement range on ca

Skrolk: Got smoked (after a lazy, meh i autoresolve and rebuild my army) start. He actually starts with 2 settlements and one free to conquer to complete his province (if you manually fight it

). Will do it soon again and be a bit less reckless, Itza and the other Lizardmen are no friendly neighbours. His start feels pretty similar to ME, so its probably hard for the first 20 turns but once you sent Itza packing you just won.

Scarsnick: Just started yesterday and it seems to be a fun and challenging start. Your surrounded by 2 Dwarf LL's, and a Skaven LL, the Dwarfs willl declare fast on you. I knew that you could turn Goblins into powerhouses, I didn't realize just how much stronger they get from the Techtree and Scarsnicks passives while costing like 50-80 upkeep. It's plain fun so far

. It's pretty hilarious when your standard gobbos stack up over 100 kills per battle, the only thing i feel I lack is hero killing power.

Woah was not expecting this early game on my fresh caravan army. Wasn't expecting to win it either.

Immortal Empires official release is here, Chaos Dwarves confirmed!

But bumping mainly because the new trailer is probably the best Total War WH cinematic they've released to date. I got goosebumps watching it.

Question about the AI in the Ursun Campaign: I'm only playing on normal and Cathay was speedrunning. I didn't think I was ready to take on the first set of portals so I missed that. Now Cathay has all 4 Demon Souls and I need one more. The portals have closed for now, so I'll have to wait another few turns. Do I need to send an army to kill Cathay? If I go quickly can I grab the 4th soul and finish the campaign? Or am I boned?

I find gobbo heroes to be decent at that. Put them on wolves or spiders. They do decent damage and are hard to kill because of their very high defense and dodges. Their active abilities with AoE debuffs also help your army quite a bit.

Its been a while since I played the campaign but there should be an opportunity to stop an AI faction if they get 4 before you do. I just don't remember if you get a popup to fight them if they try to finish or if you need to move to the Forge yourself to do so.

google should have the answer ^^

It does:

You get a prompt from the advisor letting you know you're about to lose, and he gives you the option to go straight into the forge of souls to get to ursun before them, giving you a chance to win. If you decline to go or fail to stop the other faction, you lose and the campaign ends. If you win the enemy leader is wounded for 15 turns giving you a chance to catch up.

I used the option to go straight to the Forge, but apparently Mao had better things to do and it doesn't appear that there's a way to exit. I could be wrong. So the next time the portals come up, I just have to go wait and hope Mao comes in?
