Yes, i highly recommend this (although I also authorize myself the right to install pirate cove). Act like a pirate and attack any coastal settlement make for a very aggressive campaign because you basically never need to defend yourself and have a huge variety of foe.

@@antcig To bad Coves kinda suck.

I agree. It's probably the campaign where you feel the most freedom.

That's what I did with him in the Vortex campaign. You can win it without taking any land, just sacking and pillaging.

​@@goldensp3038 Suck? Establish ones that steal 50% of income in some wealthy ports like Lothern and you're set.

Evil. I like it.

Great idea!

oh you dirty dog

Lmfao im dead imagine them sending their Phoenix guards in a row...

My pirate coves get removed whenever other faction attacked the port of my enemy. Why?

@@sultansaywell4038 Maybe this was changed, but when I played a campaign like this they stayed. Only when you yourself take it or it is razed will they be removed (or atleast that's how it was for me) Edit: Maybe they are removed when you have a specific building in the cove or if you are at war with the attacker?

I wish so too but I feel like it would be too insane to get cylostra, luthor, and aranessa for 3 extra lords with ship building, for 8 lords with ship building it would be nearly impossible to really threaten the dreadfleet at that point

@@gigahertz5528 I agree. There should have been a custom method of confederation though.

Not without a mod your not

@@conorlinehan714 Why would you need a mod for that?

@@thomashanson7550 I assume because of the 4 allied units per army limit

@@Tejbegrizzly But do you really want or need more than 4 Hierotitans along with your 14 or so Necrofex?

I don't understand his first sentence either. Is it something in the Inca lang?)

And some campaign love for Aranessa

i always use the confed legendary lords mod for that because im' greedy and want em all too

They're pirates that basically hate each other. Especially Aranessa and Noctilus.

​@@goldensp3038 well, dark elves also hate each other, but still can confederate

@@albertotejedorgauna But they don't. They have quite decent amount of respect to each other and someone like Malekith and Morathi are outright rulers of Dark Elfs. There is no rulers in VCoast and everyone pursuing only their goal. Luthor is Crazy "Vampire King" who doesn't really have rule over other VCoast lords. Cylostra is a bretonian OC. And Aranessa with Noctilus are rivals.

True, in 2 he sometimes managed to take out Caledor but he always ended getting his ass kicked and was eliminated later, now he seems to conquer half of Ulthuan most of the time

You have artillery, too

temporary buffs aren't really worth noting

Just pick noctilus and travel to cathay in like 5 turns

If you do ranged army, don't waste ammo on zombies and focus core units (Lords, heroes, any mortis engine) with range and preserve big AOE for zombies If you play melee, run down core units and then just go blob on blob Anyway the best answer to zombies is blobing into AOE spells and flanking With dwarves you can try to save charges on miners/ironbreakers, they pretty much melt zombies

Vampire Counts main here. Leibster is right. A handful of dwarven miners with charges obliterate zombies. You might even be able to put miners behind other frontlines dwarves, and they might just throw the explosives over the heads of the other dwarves (I have not tested it). 3 irondrakes on a hill overlooking your frontline might be able to shoot down into the undead horde. You basically want Ghorst to fall into your frontline in such a way that he bunches up. A tactic of VC is to create a dense blob. If you create a similar tight formation, then his army will be that much more clumped together too. Blobbing is very powerful for vampiric factions in particular (aoe healing and other mortis engine-like effects) but it is also a major weakness. Hold on to your magic until you get them to this point, then lay down runes of wrath and ruin or any AOE damage spells. Alternatively, find a way to destroy Ghorst himself

With undead you ALWAYS want to focus on killing lords, heroes and mortis engines as fast as possible. Once those are gone, the chaff will crumble away at ~50% damage if you leadership shock them. Fire lore is great vs Zombies and so is anything with explosive damage. With Zombie chaff (boosted or not) it's also handy to have a small character with high melee defense and armor in the front so that your ranged units have a really nice and compact clump to fire into. Learning how to group targets is 101 ranged play. Even ghorsts elite Zombies will take a while to take something like a Dawi Lord (pick unbreakable trait at lvl ~15) or Thane with defensive gear and an ironwarden's tankyard down. Rune of Spite is also very useful on that character, so make use of the instant gear swapping in Wh3. Get your lord the +ammo skills and remember that Master Engineers can rearm. Flame throwers melt zombies quick, but make sure to always fire into blobs so you get the most number of models per shot. if you have a Runesmith, the debuff rune is very useful as well and imo better than the buff rune, since it affects everything in a large area and turns Ghost's elite Zombies back into low tier trash. Keep an eye out for any Mortis Engines and snipe them before your troops make melee contact. If they have fliers keep an infantry unit behind your arty, because for sure they'll try to rush it.

You do realise that Legend planned the order out WELL in advance? These were all filmed ages ago and are all on an automated release schedule. What's the point asking him who to cover next when it's already set?

@@mattandrews2594 autism forsenLevel

I think they reduced recruit time for collosi to 2 turns base, so just with that research it gets to 1.

Every 10th of the same recruitment building reduces global recruitment time by 1 turn, should bei possible by turn 130

@@BlackBirdOni huh thats weird cuz i only really built out her ship and maybe 1 or 2 of the necrofex buildings

@@b2modby yeah i thought it was 2 too

In global recruitment the Colossus takes 4 turns but only 2 in local, after researching a specific tech the local drops to 1 turn but the global stays at 4 turns

(And the sword of khaine giving him around 65% ward save)

You can, and it is my prefferred way of playing him actually. Almost nobody ever comes for graveyard and at worst you can put a army there to defend, then go around with noctilus sacking, razing, making pirate coves, you can travel the whole map being a pirate without taking a single settlement and it is one of the most fun things to do

I have only played Harkon and am familiar with Noctilus so I can't say for sure, but I would think you are right. Aranessa has a somewhat defensible starting position, and Noctilus might have the best start in the game in my opinion (other than Be'lakor). Harkon somewhere in the middle but you're a pirate you can kinda just fk off if you have too and you'll be fine. Cylostra starts with some powerful enemies above and below her, so it seems rough.

I would assume Aranessa, terrible lord, terrible "faction unique" units, terrible start location, no magic line and she isn't undead so can't be healed. Cylostra's starting army is pretty strong and she has less fearsome starting enemies around her.

Ау

talked about them in the previous one with Luthor Harkon. Figured it wasn't worth repeating myself.

Why get any of the recruitment buildings when you can just raise dead?

Are you saying Noctilus is better on foot than riding a necrofex? On what grounds?

If all you have is your starting Necrofex you can put him on his mount to get some additional firepower, but once you can recruit them (and arguably even before) you should indeed let him go on foot. The reason being that any generic Necrofex is better at shooting than Noctilus will be, but you have nothing in your entire faction that is as good a frontliner as foot Noctilus. Don't let yourself get fooled by the big HP pool, Noctilus is *much* more durable on foot, and vastly more effective in melee.

Anti climating. I highly discourage doing so

@@user-tf9gr8hn6i You could just summon zombies to tank though. I don't see a point in not having him on the necrofex.

I suppose then you've just never fought a Feral Carnosaur / dragon stack on legendary difficulty. Or any actually tough battle.

You get a penalty to diplomacy for all factions
