Although, if the KoS was in my room, it will probably need to confess and repent after witnessing what happens occasionally hahaha

Ran into some issues in Makaisson's campaign against the new Skaven endgame as a lot of their stacks were getting wiped out by various Order factions that I've propped up.

To beat the endgame or at least "complete" it you need to get "Vermintide Knowledge" which you get from defeating Skaven armies. They kept getting wiped out before I got to the areas they had spawned in and I was not looking forward to having to run all over the map to try and find remnants.

Realized you can build this building at Tier 2 called "Raid the Under-City" with the new Skaven endgame building chain. It takes 1 turn to complete the Tier 1 building and 1 turn to complete the Tier 2 building which will then spawn a skaven army which has a good chance of giving you "Vermintide Knowledge" upon defeat.

They seem to consist of mostly tier 1/tier 2 units so far so they should be pretty easy to wipe out. I've just been constantly spawning them at Karak Dum as I have a defensive army up there to weedwhack Chaos whenever they get uppity.

NOTE: The tooltip says the skaven army will attack the settlement after they spawn...so you'd think a high tier garrison building would be able to take care of it for you in a few settlements far from any real action right?!...You'd be wrong as I've had instances where the skaven armies will run away to wreak havoc elsewhere so seems to be best to still have an army available that can wipe them when they spawn.

About to go invade past the Spine of the World.

I can't understand to be fair D:

I still haven't seen the Undead or Skaven Devastation maps yet, but this is super cool and spot on.

All these videos saying TROY or BRITANNIA is the least played Total War when 90% of you have probably never seen this recently delisted game.

There's not even a flair for this game on the Reddit.

This game needs to be in the conversation of; most forgotten, least played, and outright abandoned games.

I dont think this game was ever known about to be forgotten by the vast majority of Total War players

I fought in the same campaign almost every single legendary lord chaos has and a bunch of very stacked generic lords as well, the fortresses were actually pretty stacked too and in general It felt really fun grinding it out as Neferata against all the different chaos lords and armies, only thing I wish they had more is ranged demons for tzeentch, didn't see flamers or pink horrors at all, most of the armiers were elite chaos humans and daemon single entities and commanders

Maybe at some point they release a be'lakor endgame with less humans and more daemons? Not to say that there wasnt plenty of variety but the core of most armies was chosen still. Which I think its right for archaeon, but I do want a more daemon focused core armies endgame as well.

I'm playing as Nagash which has been a ton of fun! I've hit the final end game crisis and realized the top 4 faction are all Vampire counts - friggin Ghorst is number 1 for some reason, followed by Sylvania and they have 50+ territories each. Lahmian Sisterhood is also doing very well. Anyone else seeing similar runs in their campaign?

I'm still having a blast to be clear, it's basically an undead thunderbowl.

Simple request really if other factions can get multiple of these ridiculous artillery pieces there should be multiple QBs. Ideally you make the current QB a generic artillery. Call it a ship killer mortar or something and give something even more suped up as the ror.

Why these guys keep saying "we are sigmar's ass" or "Ulric... something". Dont they suppose to serve undead faction ?

Early game, choosing the right coven locations is a bit tricky. From what I can see, the ideal location for a coven meets the following criteria:

Provincial capital, of a province entirely owned by that faction.

Has a trade resource

Not vampire counts (you'll want to confederate these).

Capital of a major faction.

Unlikely to have armies floating around.

A faction you want to befriend.

Reasonably close by.

These are my picks, in no particular order for settlements I think are good:

1. Kislev. Katarin usually sticks around, and Kislev units are pretty good for allied recruitment. Erengrad might be a good alternative, but Kostaltyn usually gets wiped.

2. Hellpit: If Thrott beats Katarin this might be a good alternative to Kislev.

3. Brass keep. Making it easy to get a diplomatic pact with Festus also has the pleasant bonus of making it easier to confederate Kemmler.

4. Karaz-a-karak: This isn't a great direction to expand in, and dwarfs are annoying to fight. A coven with thorgrim can secure your southern flank.

5. Black Crag, good for similar reasons to Karaz a Karak, but greenskins aren't as good allies as Dwarfs. I'd only do this if Thorgrim gets wiped.

6. Crookback mountain: Easily accessible. There's an argument for conquering this one though.

7. Altdorf/Couronne: You want to conquer these, but they're far enough away that it won't happen for a long time.

8. Nan-Gau: Probably the best settlement in Cathay to make into a coven.

Some others that might seem like a good idea that I rule out:

Zharr-nagrund: They keep too many armies and heroes around, so it'll be impossible to build concealment. Additionally, you probably want to conquer this region.

Uzkulak: Astragoth consistently leaves you alone. Putting a coven in Uzkulak risks revealing Aarbal who might beeline attacking you.

Crookback Mountain: I think it's better to just conquer this.

Anyone else got thoughts?

for what i know i have no mod to change lord/heroes skin but he is using yellow armor, did a update change a color value in the color scheme for his faction or its just my game?

Just curious what the reaction was to both games at the time.

Right, let's see... I've been playing the Nagash campaign for the last few turns with the following setup:

• End Times with Archaon (scenario already completed).
• Vermintide (ongoing).
• Mid-game scenarios: all enabled.
  

Everything on maximum difficulty.

The campaign is fun because Archaon has destroyed half the world, and the revived factions are busy reconquering it. However, there's a problem... THE FACTION ARMIES JUST KEEP SPAWNING!

With every passing turn, all the mid-game events trigger again, and 7–8 armies spawn for each faction—EVERY TURN. The map is an absolute disaster right now, and the campaign is ruined. Is there any way to reverse this? Am I cooked?

The power of Nagash is not enough.

(Didn’t realize this was from the empires expanded mod, I ment for a vanilla map)

I think Morathi might be on to me, but who cares when you have Grave Guard with that kind of stat line.

so my brother and i are doing our nagash endgame campaign and when the 2nd phase of his endgame triggers with the vampiric ascencion midgame happen at the same time triggers you will bug the game out and they will keep on spawning new armies this vid is taking at turn 3 of this from happening the strength is only set to 100%

ps after this vid we are 6 turns in and they dont stop coming
