Strapped for cash, I had no choice but to declare war. In a first for me, Marienburg completely annihilated Couronne within the first few turns, which robbed me for a trade partner. But I quickly recruited another lord and sent him on the seas to explore, which allowed me to make trade deals with most of the High Elf factions. Volkmar doesn't offer the diplomacy bonuses Franz does, so it's harder to even make NA and trade deals with the other provinces. I have to maintain a lord with a few additional troops to ensure victory in all the battles. The Greenskins that come from Brettonnia are a constant nuisance, as they keep attacking the fort Helmgart.

The game is easy initially, as the Secessionists don't really pose much problem, but after it takes a dive. So I started with Volkmar instead of Karl Franz, but after I confederated Talabecland, I got Franz, too. OTOH, if the AI plays with Reikland, they can make alliances. I think it's bullshit that you can't make any sort of alliance with the other provinces until you confederate. The Shadowgave starts on the northern coast and he usually devastates Nordland and Midderland, unless you can intervene. Besides the usual suspects, you also have to deal with the much improved Beastmen. I started another campaign with the Empire to see if it's tougher to play with them with all the recent changes, and the answer is yes. Unfortunately only Tretch has any motivation to help me fight Malekith. the Ironfrost Norsca raiders? Really? Those can make trade deals? I'm baffled every time to see the buff Chaos worshipping viking dude jovially inviting this dusty mummy to drink with him in the diplomacy screen. Unfortunately Naggarond itself proved to have too good of a garrison to take with just base Tier 0 skeletons.Д«ut hey, at least I have been able to make the weirdest most random group of allies with the Sisters of Twilight, Alith Anar, Tretch Craventail and. because my starting area was lost in the process, sacked by the beastmen while I was focusing both my armies on trying to take the city of Naggarond, meaning I'm 40 turns in and only just got to Tier 3 with one of my cities while I was too busy sacking Dark Elves settlements and conquering up to Har Garneth.

I beat Malekith two times and four turns later after the last battle he all of a sudden appeared with a full stack of archers and cavalry while I only have. In a move that was already too late I guess? Because she instantly confederated with ALL the Dark Elves factions, leaving me dealing with a constant onslaught of high-quality Dark Elves stacks. By attacking Morathi and using her territory as my path. and then retreat after beating the stack that defended it since I took too many losses to go on. Because there are about three different Beastmen factions next to me razing settlements and setting up these weird red markers that prevent you from colonizing any ruins anywhere and the chaos corruption is so thick it shreds my whole armies as I tried to trudge my way towards those markers.

and god, what a painful start that got even more horribly painful thanks to the Beastmen update I'd wager. I started out with Khatep in the Mortal Empires campaign, my first start in Naggarond. And because I hate myself and love punishment. Because the spooky season has arrived I thought it fitting to pause my dwarf campaign for a bit and instead try out Tomb Kings.
