Someone: it's southeast of the empire. Ghorst: misses it and keeps heading to the ocean. Ghorst: that guy was full of crap!

What can he say, he needed to go for one badly, and theres no life around nagashizzar so no tree's to go behind..

Must have taken a wrong turn at Albuquerque

You know dudes dont like to ask for directions even when they are lost

Does occupying Nagashizzar grant anything? I remember it being in WH2, and it being a total PITA to get to.

That is how I felt with siege battles in the first game. Such a slog.

but do you need to avoid casualties? You can garantee lots of zombies in the raise dead pool with research they meant to be replaceable

@@Cocobean110 Because autoresolve = defeat in almost every fight

Somewhat ironically, Ku'gath has the same problem with Nurglings in autoresolve.

@@Stefanbf2 must have tweaked the zombies value since I played it was along time ago. Alternatively you can just field pump out a billion armies, 3-4 full zombie stacks should win auto resolve, their are only around 800 gold for an entire stack on the hardest difficulty

It would have been fun if it was just him, making it faction wide is a bit much.

@@Barnesofthenorth i disagree, i would like to see more specialised factions. like seen with skaven, they have some differences but, also they get samey after a while. he is the zombie faction. von carstein you dont ever recruit zombies after teir 3 etc

@@Barnesofthenorth it only makes sense if its faction wide though, else its just a regular vampire counts faction.

Well he is now living on a magical forest would be weird him being weak against his own lands lol😅

@@memesofwarhemmer7076 ...Well, yes. However, Khalida also got the Mountain climate that Khatep used to have along with her own preferred Jungle climate, so it's not exactly consistent.

@@HiddenEvilStudios Good point

​@Memes of warhemmer you got Boris who doesn't like his starting climate but its a bit offset due to his faction traits

​@@memesofwarhemmer7076 that sounds like it's thematic for his story though. Starting off with everything going wrong...

Commenting to boost visibility

its region locked to europe

I checked after reading this and after applying VAT it came out as the exact same price as currently on steam (22.49). The discount is pre-vat so it essentially makes no difference.

@@keithsstepdad Fun fact, instant gaming does NOT check where you are, and only asks you to pretty please tell the truth. They also point out that the activation code is NOT region locked. And miracle ! Switzerland has 0% VATs on instant gaming. Such a weird instance. Now whether you do that is up to you, but it wouldn't put me in switzerland by default (and I live in France, faaaar from the border) if that wasn't a very convenient 'issue' for them.

@@playwars3037 very interesting, I'll keep that in mind in future (already just bought it lol). That's amazing to know

i just befriend ghorst when i play greasus, much easier to let him have the non mountain settlements and at the same time he protects my south perfectly from anyone else

With Kugath on Legendary i usually take the my full province(build the resourse building and lvl 2 the capital) then i smash the ogres yo the west, meanwhile recruiting 2 exalted heroes and training then to lvl 4 for their mounts. After all that i smash ghorst, the heroes kill the carts super easy, another tip is don't waste Kugath ammo, wait for the blob

I thought it was the part where Nurgle is just super unfun to play in general because the roster is slow and boring

Shouldnt be too hard to wipe him out at the start

​@@ssrgioz This is the way. Those Exalted Heroes dump all over the Mortis Engine and bitchslap Ghorst back to the grave. It's crazy you can get such a strong hero that early let alone two of them. Feels like people don't look at their settlements and building effects. Grave Guard can't cut through 15 units of Nurglings after they've been pelted by Ku'gath's ranged attack and a bunch of spells dropped on them.

I love Immortal Empires, but I very rarely make it to the endgame. It gets pretty tedious assigning endless skillpoints, and upgrading buildings is a chore. I wish there was at least a visual element to building up settlements, because I find the "city building" aspect of the game pretty lackluster. In its current state it's the equivalent of navigating a menu. Diplomacy isn't all that interesting either, while I'm at it. I also have extremely irritating camera issues. For whatever reason I cannot mouse scroll the campaign or battle map at the bottom of the screen. Left, Right, and Top all work fine, but when I have to use manual keyboard camera controls to move down. In battles, the camera often gets stuck when I'm trying to zoom in on some action at a distance, and I have to double click on a unit to force the camera to move. Very annoying. I also find it pretty annoying how the game doesn't explain in practical terms how any of the stats work. I had to watch videos on youtube to learn how melee attack and melee defense interact, what armor actually does, etc. I'd be hard pressed to explain to someone why I hate so many aspects of this game yet love it so much.

​@@choronos agreed. That's why I can play a Beastmen campaign into late game. Civilization bad.

@@choronos you can tick the box on a lord or hero skill tree to auto assign points. I do this with heroes at about level 20 once I have everything I need in the main line.

@@leosalonen1564 Oh nice. I knew you can do that with the tech tree but I didn't realize you can do it with skillpoints.

You can usually get a non aggression pact with them or they get wiped by the skaven and/or the orcs and Settra

Drown them in Skeletons. Bring two stacks for every one they have. Magic is useful and get some chariots to run all over their backline of ranged. Ushabti is another option and Tomb Scorpions if available. Just keep them away from Slayers.

@@mandu6665 Blasting charges completely destroying skeletons is the main issue for me

Zombies never dodge

I like doing all Necromancers and no Vampires with Ghorst. Not the playstyle for everyone but you've got three other fun options for VC. I really hope CA doesn't nerf Ghorst.

Gotta give love to the neck romancers, also wight kings, they really help when you have to deal with someone like grimgor

@@Nightmare_52 Wig kings

@@usuallysalty4018 thats part of their horror effect lol

Really looking forward to the Chaos Dwarfs. I think their presence is going to breathe a lot of life into the Immortal Empires map.

Sorry but why the balefire? I always thought the bell was way better for the heal (for deathstars with mortis engine).

You can do that with locked groups.

Yeah... really wish Ghorst had his own custom Brothers Ghorst Mortis engine

To paraphrase someone else, "Helman Ghorst is going to get buffed, because people suck" Nobody realized how good poison is, nobody realized how good a cart he has, and this intermingled with mp opinions. And CA cannot balance, they see everyone complaining or memeing about Ghorst and we got Ghorst 2.0

@@Riwillion I should clarify. I dont mean that "I want it so he can keep pace with the rest." I mean that "so his double time wont get outran by Chosen during their walk animation."

Do you have a flag? (Of speed)

in a non flashy sort of way

its because on paper zombies dont have armor or damage. and the game does not take into account 1000% healing cap you can get with helman so autoresolve sucks. i usually have like 10-15 zombies and some damage dealers just to help with autoresolve so i dont have to fight manually whole game

Yeah. It really needs to be fixed. I know it's hard to accurately quantify such stats but it's doable. They charge a lot of their game, it's the least they can do. It's an issue for lots of other campaigns as well. Auto resolve is very inaccurate a lot of the time.@@spatrk6634

He almost instakills vampire lords on nightmares, but you can actually kill him with zombie spam. Well, not kill him, but get him low enough that he will break after single-handedly wiping half of them lol. Of course killing his army first is required.

My three biggest gripes with tw now... - not able to get lords factionwide bonus outside the skill tree - not able to confederate factions as vampire coast or tomb kings pretty disappointing - the settlements look ugly as fuck when you occupy them, without changing appearance towards the race that conquered it

I have to have the mod where the settlements change depending on who owns them. And I never thought about getting the faction effects of confederated lords. That would be really cool.

Certified forsenLevel campaign

@@holdinmcgroin8639 truly a forsenLevel moment

He can get grinded to death by mortis engine effect long before he cuts through thr infantry thrown at him.

It's never been fun playing them in the first place...

​​@@Prushinthespirit VC was in my top-5 favourite in WH2, lizardmen never made it.

@@Prushinthespirit depends on your taste, its my 2nd most played campaign, close to skaven at 1st. but i dislike that they nerfed WoD, overcastet it doesnt kill most units now if they are undamaged and this spell was a big part of the fun

@@biowiener7825 that WoD dependency was the reason I hated them. Made them the most one-trick faction in the game, with everything else being too grindy, slow and functioning the same way. Well, they didn't present anything to make up for WoD nerf, so they're like half-of-trick faction now. Ghorst is considered good just because he got that grinding aspect amplified to some nonsensical amount.

@@biowiener7825 They absolutely gutted the AP damage on it. The overcast doesn't add literally any AP anymore, so against units with 80+ armor, a base cast is just as effective. Overcast WoD went from dealing 90-95% of a Greatsword unit's HP, and instantly shattering them, to not even killing a single model, and leaving the unit with over half HP after that nerf.

His starting position is fine with tons of ports close by. Ghorst is a pushover if you play smart. Get two Exalted Heroes to level 4 mounts and Ghorst is toast. I crubstomped Imrik, Ghorst and Greasus within 40 turns because none of them can cut through Nurgling masses. Lore of Nurgle is strong too. People just need to play better.

@@mandu6665 Most of us don't have that DLC. Least I don't so the exalted hero's are not an option

@@mandu6665 You forgot to mention his islandborders don´t allow for any plagues to spread within his starting province. Also, he runs out of climatically acceptable land pretty quick. Every Lord in the game is a pushover, if you play "smart", whatever that means, if I want to I can cheese a victory out of almost any battle, the game is pretty broken and unbalanced if you really mean it. Also, waiting to get 2 level 4 heroes before you can attack your immediate neighbor is lunacy, how do you play that slow and not realise his position is fucked? Does Ghorst never come for you? because his Army at turn 4 can beat yours easily, unless you know the game inside out.

@BruderRaziel you make a good point about ghorst taking effects that should be kugaths, and custom countering kugath. Nurgle is my favorite chaos faction, and kugath is my favorite nurgle lord. I always hear how terrible his start is, so I'm glad to at least get some tips on how to do it.

@@shorewall Nurgle would also be my favourite, if the faction was realised as it should be. Still, visually the faction is a blast, animations are great and all, but the actual effects they have(or rather dont have) on enemy troops and their surroundings is rather lackluster. For some real tips to get Kugath going: Rush him and your other caster to the spell that does single target damage over time. After you have your starting province complete you will probably have the choice to attack ghorst or sit around. If you attack another foe, Ghorst might come at a bad time. So I think it is best to prepare for this moment as best you can and try and defeat ghorst immediately, as soon as you can. Legend has a disaster battle where Kugath has to do this exact battle and he explains how to win it better than I ever could. In short: All your entities that can deal good damage to mortis engines need to fight the mortis engine and they need to be isolated if possible. If the fight becomes a big blobby grind or even 2 smaller blobs, you will lose, because ghost already has multiple damagin effects from turn one, while you will have 0. Expect to have multiple tries, the AI does not always cooperate and sometimes the blob just happens and cant be dissolved. But really, check out legends disaster battle, it is perfect for this situation.

I don't like to get involved in other people's opinions. He's entitled to believe whatever he wants.

I think he showed back on wh2, that he had over 10000 hours on steam, but he said it wasn't completely accurate. I know that steam counts even if you tab out, and also all the loading screens and such.

Not thrilled about it but having seen both sides of the argument the inflation argument holds up.

it should say what platform the dlc can be activated on. most of the total war warhammer stuff is steam keys. make sure you double check.
