Wulfrik is such a cool char in the lore, and I love playing norsca until turn 5 when bel'akor declared war on me.

The immunity to all sea based attrition is massive. I think it might have been in the tech tree before but took ages to get, meaning that Wulfrik couldn't really wander as much as his tech tree suggested he ought to. But now he can. Love to see it.

I think Wulfrik should have a mechanic like Oxyotl, where he can teleport to Lords to challenge them to battle for bonuses or whatever for his faction or negatives if he doesn't manage to do it, which'd fit his tabletop lore I think.

continues to be one of the best series you've done, looking forward to your chorfs reviews soon

Skin wolves, especially armored, feels like a much stronger doomstack for Wulfrik than marauders. He massively boosts them and they wreck anything large, and also demolishes infantry for some reason, whilst healing.

Imagine 2 or 3 years ago telling legend he was going to prefer throggs campaign

Remember when Legend wanted these to be like two minutes long? Man he just can't help himself can he?

Belakor always declares war on my playthroughs

You just can't do anything in this campaign. Everyone and their mother consistently declares war on you and invades somewhere in your empire from all sides. Belakor and his Vassals, Kislev, Bretonnia, Empire and even some stupid Chaos Factions. One is almost constantly defending and trying to secure the peninsula. This ensures that mechanics such as monster hunting and god affinity actually only come into play in the late game, when it actually doesn't matter anyway. It's supposed to be a campaign where you loot and raid cities, but actually you're just being raided all the time. It feels really tough playing this campaign on VH/Legendary. Its more than doable, but it feels soo sluggish, strange and slow.

I have done a few campaigns with Norsca faction in Total War: Warhammer 3. On legendary difficulty, you can run straight to Doomskeep for the campaign. On the way there, you recruit with your main army for two turns, which allows you to get a total of 5 new units with an additional unit slot because you secure the province on turn 2 you can choose to get additional local recruitment from governing a province (commandement). Then, you move on to Doomskeep and position your main army between Doomskeep and Grealing Moot, so both armies attack you. You can win on auto-resolve or choose to fight and not lose much at all. On turn 3, you can't recruit with your main army since you will be in between Moot and Doomskeep, so it's highly recommended to start a second army and keep recruiting once you enter enemy territory. Once you confederate them, you move north since the Norsca faction on the bottom (Skaleing) doesn't declare war, at least in my campaigns they never did. You keep moving north and stop at the border with your main army to get an additional five new units - two from the turn you confederate the second faction and three from the commandment bonus on the next turn. Then, you keep advancing north, as mentioned before, because their army will be bigger than yours, and you can just attack settlements or just let them attack you which is easier since there won't be garrinson, and again, you can auto-resolve or fight with minimal losses. So, by turn 7, you have 8 settlements. Then, I would highly suggest taking the two armies you have to fight off Be'lakor and get that small island. Of course, Thorgg will declare war on you and take some your settlements, but with Norsca's confederation mechanic, by defeating the main lord of a faction after dealing with Be'lakor, you get all of the settlements you lost back, plus the additional ones Throog took. From that point on, you have insane snowball potential, and you can basically do whatever you want, expanding (sacking/razing or even occupying) in every direction and I would suggest attacking and confederation remaining norsca factions that are on main island that you start on.

Really love Wulfrik's campaign but "conquer all Norsca" is now too boring for me. The best way I found out for this campaign is either migrate to Skeggi to catch that landmark or use the mod and change your starting settlement to Skeggi at turn 1. Norsca campaign in Lustria just hits different especially when you can recruit 6-7 exp marauders and get Hexoatl tech for lord recruit rank in first 20 turns.

One tactic I've done early game as Wulfrik is take over the Bjornlings then make my way towards Belakor while recruiting what I can on the way. You will likely lose the Monolith of Bjorkil to another minor Norscan faction, but if you get to Albion quick enough, he won't have it fully conquered so you can take the major settlement (which is a pretty good region to have) while he's busy fighting the minor Tzeentch faction. If not, he and his vassals are too much of a pain to fend off given how separated the Norscan settlements are from each other.

In this campaing I conquered Albion after confederate the bjorlings, established a base in the island and then migrate south trought the sailing point near Nagarond. Then crossed that territory, confederated the skeggy and continue sailing to Catay and the Easter islands. It was very fun, Lore accurate and made me rich by possesing lots of ports

Can you "update" older rewievs where they're 2-3 min long and do 10 min videos?

norsca is such a cool faction but it really sucks that their monster hunt gets bugged a lot and you can't progress past the 1st monster :/

in my last Wulfrik campaign, around 100 turns in I ended up facing Katerine. I had a 13 mammoths (including Wulfrik) and 2 wizards and she had a full stack. Auto resolve said it was a "crushing defeat" which I didnt even know was a thing. I turned it into a heroric victory with no causalities

As Wulfrik, I always wind up in a war with Be'lakor and his vassal on, like, turn two or three. He declares quickly, then Throgg declares. It's a fight for survival against two and a half stacks minimum early game. Bad luck, I guess.

Great review as always. Thorough and efficient. Also, thank you very much for your work with the Promo and getting us a fair price. It brought down to the DLC to a level I felt like paying.

Thank you for the gamesplanet thingy, it made it cheaper for me to get the DLC and I very much appreciate it. You're a Legend Legend.

The Eternal Challenger trait should give Strider or a Ward save instead of Perfect Vigor. At least with Terror, you could make use of it on foot or with a horse mount.

Hey Legend, I am still waiting for your Boris Ursus review, I know you are still working on it from the Alith Anar stream and I really want to see your insight on that weird start, but I did played a campaign myself where I migrated to Hellpit and dealt with Throt and Azazel early on, but then it quickly became a This is Total War, when Wulfrik was fighting from the west, Archaon and the chaos tide from the north, greenskins from the east and Drycha and Festus from the South. The Empire was beign smashed by Vlad and Festus, Ungrim was cornered by Azhag and Skarsnik Altdorf, Kislev and Erengrad were razed, and trying to expand at any direction seemed to only bring more enemies like Grimgor, Malus and The Demon Prince. It was the goddamn End Times campaign, but it was lots of fun (except the AI from my allies abandoning their capitals to go conquer smaller settlements on the other side of the map, that was very frustrating). Cheers.

A little trick to get the campaign off to a running start. Instead of fighting the bjornling leader turn 1 get as close to him as you can and go into ambush stance and disband one unit from your army (so he doesn't retreat when you fight him next turn) fight him turn 2 try not to wipe out any of his units or kill him just beat him and let him run off map then confederate him and move his units into your army. You start with a second unit of champions, fimir warriors and the other units let's you get a full stack and go fight the naglfarlings before they get a full stack.

"Brothers and sisters are natural enemies. Like Norscans and the Empire. Or Norscans and Bretonnia. Or Norscans and other Norscans. Damn Norscans! They ruined Norsca!"

You forgot his other unique skill fervent creatures - gives huge boost for Skin Wolves

I had a hell of a time building momentum in the midgame with Wulfrik due to the incredibly low recruitment capacity of Norsca and fightings wars on all fronts. I'd be curious to give it another try but it feeks like the game traps you in a really slow, grinding place that's hard to get out of.

5:24 there was a cap for movement range in TWW2 - 150%*force-march But in TWW3 it seems bugged and sometimes my heroes can run across 3 areas (i had this bug with nurgle sectants)

It just seems that depending on the circumstances lords seem to have redundant unique skills

Been waiting for this one :)

Love Norsca, and the confed by battle lets you grow quickly, but I always overstep and get Wolfrick killed in a fight he shouldn't be in. Gotta do better.

The earliest I've ever been! Love these videos! I've tried at least 4 diff lords I was afraid to play because of this series!

Norscan are like scottish people and wulfrik is theirs groundskeeper willy

you forgot to mention when The Shadow Legion randomly declare war before round 5 lol

What patch was this video recorded on

I've yet to play norsca but I've heard their beasthunts might be bugged, in that they do not complete after quest battle or such. Might be worth noting. Kinda have hoped we'd get slight rework/update for boys in the north, but they seem decent enough as they are. More lords would be cool, maybe down the line. Also never thought I'd hear Legend prefer Throgg over Wulfrik, gotta be cold day in hell.

Every time I try to play Wulfrik my campaign is cut short by both Be'lakor and Azazel declaring war on me at the same time. Extremely hard to beat even one of them in battle, let alone both of them coming at you with four armies total. I have no idea what to do it's just unplayable.

Me: Where is Legend of Total War? Them: 0:01

Will you be revisiting some of the first ones of the series? Grimgor has a new start position in the latest patch

Can Norsca still get the massive upkeep reduction for beating Archaon, or is it no longer a thing with changes to the Warriors of Chaos?

I hope Norsca gets a new DLC soon adding a new LL or maybe even 2 adding a FLC one

Hey legend, i love your content, i started watching you shortly after i bought warhammer 2, love seeing your videos come up in my subbed feed. Do you think you would be open to like some sort of Patch review for the big content patches? Like not just doing the new race itself but looking at the changes to the state of the game from major patch to major patch and summarizing your thoughts on the content itself and how it affects the state of the game

I liked the tech tree, really encourages you to world walk and get those capital benefits.

These videos are so helpful, thank you.

Just wondering which is LoTW favourite faction for camp and why And favourite LL(doesnt have to be same as favpirote faction) and why

I was having a good SFO Norsca campaign until I tried to take on Betonia and I had a hard time going up against tier 3 units when I mainly had trash.

Love these videos Legend! Amazing content as always!

I wish you would record full games, i never really cared too much for streaming

Is @LegendofTotalWar still accepting disaster campaigns? Or did he just forget the description? Cause I need help...

For some reason YT won't suggest these videos until they're like 12 hours old now.

@legendoftotalwar, I love your content! Please keep up the awesome work, Legend!!

What do you do about Be'lakor? He almost always declares war on me early on and ends up taking my settlements while I'm busy on the other side of the peninsula.

Hey Legend, will you be doing updates to any of the LLs that got starting area updates in patch 3.0?

is there any intent to redo any of the reviews for LL who were updated in the Chaos Dwarf DLC?

but brother, I get declared war in the first 10 turns from belakor and that other demon from the right, you haven't adressed this in the video

How would you deal with Belekor early game as every time I start the campaign he always declares war and I’m having to deal with his main force and his ally love to know what I can do to prevent this 😭

Brothers and sisters getting along like Norscans and Kislevites or Norscans and Bretonnians or Norscans and Norscans. Damned Norscans, they ruined Norsca!

Who’s bright idea was it to put belakor right next to you

Are we going to see your opinion on the new faction and its mechanics?

Will you do similar reviews for Chaos Dwarfs lords?

Could you do a list of good Doomstacks for WH 3?

@LegendofTotalWar The moment I noticed that you did not do a Chaos Dwarfs campaign as a livestream, that's when I knew that everything is going down the drain...

I think we need a Skin-Wolf legendary lord! :)

No review on pat h?

There's no more maximum movement? It definitely was a thing in wh2 Occasionally when you stacked enough there was literally no difference between the reach of normal movement and force march Vamp coast could relatively reliably get that high

Still haven't fixed the god damn monster hunts.

what are ur plans for chaos dwarfs?

Seems more like Gify of Toungues should cause a character to rampage or something

I run a Werekin Doomstack on him!

The one problem with Wulfrick is that he doesn't have a flying boat mount.

Any tips on how to deal with be'lakor? He declares war on me without fail in the first 20 turns and it's rough.

Prefers throgg, doesn't prefer mammoths. WHO THE HELL ARE YOU, AND WHAT DID YOU DO TO LEGEND!?

Started a wulfric campaign and by turn 10 both Belakor and Azrael had declared on me. I was like well, shit. Empire, Kislev wanna be allies?

I think everybody waiting for Legend's opinion on Chorfs ih the campaign map and on the battlefield

I need these for the chaos dwarfs

Boris next please

I hate norscan razing mechanic. Rewards are way to low for the effort. Basically when you get -10% unkeep you can forget about it and just cap everything

Mah man working 80 hours a week doing to more testing of this game than a hired QA tester working at CA 💀

The thing that plagues any campaign is the player bias. As soon as _anyone_ discovers you the AI seems hellbent on declaring war on you.

Imagine telling Legend from 2 years ago that one day he'll prefer Throgg to Wulfrik

FINALLY

when chaos dwarfs?

beast hunt is still bugged

Do papa Kislev (Boris)

I miss livestreams 😔, campaign reviews just dont make it for me in a constanly evolving game.

First - 🐺

did i miss anything why is legend not covering chaos dwarfs?

nice video

I think that`s a super lame campaign honestly. Not much special around it, just play agressive and be done by turn 30-50.

Wtf is this?? We want to see the new DLC
