I feel like I would LOVE, personally, a full in depth guide on HOW to play Slaanesh battles. Like...a full on tutorial on chariots, how they work, just...just WATCHING someone play through the battles. Because I've tried with N'kari and I struggle immensely with his playstyle. Watching you run around with like 25% health on your units and still get victories is baffling me and I would love to learn how you can do that with.
I agree! You can learn how to play chariots in skirmish game with ai(1-2 battles will enoght).Try to atack chariots from the mountain to the bottom, then they inflict much more damage. And don't attack uphill of course, it works in the opposite direction :). Also try to seduct enemy cavalry or kill it first, because chariots stops when attack big enteties. Slaanesh chariots very fast and the best in the game! Except JabbaSlice ofc :)
@@anatoliypetrenko1365 Thats good info! I've been playing this game for a while now but I would still not consider myself that amazing. Got started in Warhammer 2 and played sporadically so I'm still getting used to just playing the game, how each race works, how to make use of Cav and Chariots. Cav and Chariots in particular always feel rougher to use, with chariots in particular since sometimes they just SHRED people and sometimes...even when I'm following guides, it feels like the chariots are basically worthless. They push people around and do nothing else. And they require so much attention that its hard to bounce back and forth with the REST of the army. Especially with Slaanesh and how they play. So I'd love just a full guide on slaanesh cause it feels like the sort of campaign you make actions, let it run for like 2 seconds, pause to adjust, play again, pause to adjust. Otherwise you'd need like 6 screens and 14 eyes to manage. Or maybe I'm just bad, LOL.
Try to play on casual difficulty, Choose marauders and create group(ctrl + g), then start attack, and manipulate just Nkari and chariots. Thats easy, be sure.
Melee-focused chaos factions like Azazel or Archaon or Kugath or Skarbrand are all the same in their battle style - form a blob and let the enemies die against it, while using your magic/cavalry to distract/slay fast/dangerous enemy units. With Nkari it's different. You hide your melee and use your fast units - Nkari, chariots, seekers, seduced cavalry - to do HORSE SANDWICHES. This tactic works since Rome1 or even since Shogun 1 and Medieval 1. You run around the battlefield isolating 1 enemy unit at a time, then feign attack with 1 fast unit - so the enemy braces in that direction - and then you attack it in the rear with another unit, and then with the first unit, once they turn to deal with rear attackers. This works EXCELLENTLY for Nkari, because all his fast units are Devastating Flankers, and he himself has regen when pursuing fleeing enemies, so he can pretty much take the brunt of an attack, then chariots smash the enemy's backs and the enemy routs, and Nkari kills the fleeing and regenerates. Rinse, repeat. For sieges - run around capping points, then once they leave their main square unattended - go there, cap it, and win on points. Works every time.
Thank you buddy. I kept going back to Slaanesh and kept both fascinated/frustrated. I ended up playing this one in a bad way. After you show us the tricks, I finally enjoy (and play) Slaanesh!
Wishing you success because it seems like you may be one of few that are making content for this game right now. Most videos are 5+months old. As a new player tempted by new inclusiveness, thanks for these vids.
Dude... what a strong start.. I had a very successful campaign with Nkari, in legendary difficulty, using evey single mechanic available.. I was blitz seducing dark elves in my way north with cults, forcing vassalage through lizardman territory in the South, and wrecking havoc in bretonnia just for the sake of it. But the start was very very griding. What took me 30 turns to acomplish with lots of back and forths, you did it in no time... My respects.. One side note: i noticed that you vassalized very few factions in your path.. I vassalized every single one of them. That made me very unpopular with everyone arround me. However, financialy speaking, that was very good once I had a lot of vassals. Also, my vassals armies started to stomp everyone arround up until norsca, not because they were strong, but they were too many. AI seems much more competent in raising armies and handling their finances because of their cheats..
I think what you point out is that vassals are really important. However, if you dont have the military to maintain those vassals it will fall apart. You want vassals , just not a lot of them too quickly. You need to be able to build economy and to do that you need settlements.
Thank you for this video. I try to utilize auto resolve as much as possible when playing with friends, but I realized that auto-resolving battles is not the way to go as Slaanesh vs Elves. Your guide gave me the reassurance I needed for my next campaign strat.
Great guide for N'kari. I really like how your stategies aren't very cheesy and are just shown for us from the campaign side, leaving the rest for the user. I hope you get more views and subscribers. Cheers.
I love this channel! And this guide is good and simple for an experienced player! But.. When I started playing as N'kari on legendary, I usually had problems with field battles and sieges of large and especially small settlements. And I agree with Ishmael about "How to slaanesh army work". And also I highly recommend to add N'kari magic build for newcomers and common lord shadow build on chariot, because its really strong gameplay, when you remove lord(9 lvl+, with shadow pit) and ressurect his at the far end of the map after 5 turns, and on this feature you can build strong strategies for world domination. And in the end I offer to add army composition for earlygame, midgame and lategame, with explanian how its work. May be you can record video something like "N'kari.........battles... part 2". Sorry, for my Eng. Like, subscribe, comment x3! With love from Belarus! :)
I wish I was good enough to win those battles, damn. I absolutely love N'Kari's campaign but I just play on normal and there's still no way could I win like....any of those battles lol. It takes me until at least turn 40 to kill Eltharion and Tyrion. You make it look so easy
Have you played Total War 3 Kingdoms, Medieval, Rome or something? Did you win there? Forget everything about strategies from these games. I was SOOO damn bad in Warhammer 2 and 3. Now i switched to not fighting "logically" but just relentless. As slanesh my goal is not to kill the enemy. My goal is to break the enemy. Make them flee, make them cry for their mothers. Do everything you can to build up terror and crush their moral -> since then i can win battles that are rediciously overwhelmig for my army
I never tried Slanesh before, but when I saw the prince on the BF, I was like ho damn, in the late game you can solo armies over and over again with good micro management to a point that you forget you have an army hidden
Can we talk about how lucky it was on turn 3 that a random solo lord was standing right outside Tor Koruali? Amazing guide btw, and I really like your content, but out of 3 attempts, full resets. He never did what happend on your playthrou. (playing on Legendary + Vhard)
This is probably the break point to keep pace with him. If there is no lord outside to force a field battle, you just lay siege, and hope they sally out to fight you. If they don't, each turn you wait, you fall another turn behind.
It would be very helpful to see the battles, to understand how you play in higher lvl difficulties (I do hard campaign hard battles). Maybe a video that is mentioned in the corner (dont know the name of it) as each fight comes up, so we could go and watch it if we'd like?
Took me a lot of savescumming to figure out how to do the sieges. The first one I just sent the cav far away to abuse the enemy being slow and then captured the points with no trouble, the Cothique siege was much harder until I realised daemonettes could break the gates quite fast and the marauders are much better than I was giving them credit, each unit getting 130+ kills while the cav took the points from the other side.
Great video, like the previous one. I watched Kairos and his faction also all the praises. Keep it up, you'll get a lot of views, here's a sub from me. Sorry for my bad English, many greetings from Croatia! Živio!!!!
Its interesting how things went here. (I played this campaign about 20 turns before I watched this video. (was not exactly looking for this, just wanted to know how some slaanesh mechanics work, as description in game is sometimes a bit vague.) In my game Alariel failed her attacks and Orange Dark Elf and both of them were not very strong. Orcs where not on Ulthuan at all, Yvresse was rather large when I got into war with them. On the Breton side, they got smashed by Orcs and Chaos Warriors, so they +Musillion held those coastals and were busy fighting over there. In the meantime on the western continent Morathi gobbled up tons of land and is currently Rank 2. Purple Vampire coast on my game has just become my first Ally and likes me quite a bit. Is any of that very uncommon? (I'm not looking to play perfectly optimal, just want to try out all the Slaanesh mechanics. Also, my first time playing Warhammer 3, last played Warhammer 2 several months ago.)
Can you make a similar video on seducing into vassals? Is it viable strategy, cause as far as I know, if you make someone vassal through corruption, not force, they can't leave you? So is it viable to have maybe 2 provinces (sword of Khain) and make everyone vassals on the donut? Also how would you recommend leveling N'Kari? I am always tempted to go full on fight tree, but it always feels like it's a bit of a waste. In general can you make a video that goes more into the vassal system, it's viability and what armies should you be fielding?
I am working on this very video. I am not sure that it is "impossible" for them to break away but you can see the seductive influence go down. I assume that this means that if it ever reaches zero that they can break away but I have never actually allowed that to happen. Mostly because there are incentives to do things to your vassals that will keep the seductive influence high.
@@theartofsavescumming Thanks mate. So i guess there are a lot of false information floating around. Will be great when your video clears it up, cause I couldn't find a decent explanation of the mechanics in any depth beyond - you can do this.
hey man i took out yvresse by turn 8, but i got a non aggression with that minor orc faction right below him? what should I do? currently I'm just spreading cults and sitting in my base for a few turns not sure if this is the right move
since slaanesh is one of your favourite factions, youre the best person to ask, when the heck should i be vassalising over occupying? im struggling to figure out when i should be doing which .
Im making a video for you. However, 1.) Faction lead by a legendary lord 2.) factions that have the capacity to consolidate a lot of territory (Dark Elves, Major High elf factions, empire, ect.) and those that are strategically located to help defend territories you wont spend a lot of time in
So, N'kari player here, and you have interesting way to play, but i think you have some missed opportunities and some wasted money potential, so: On 1 turn, you didn't pop the manifestation right away, and you summoned disciple army too early on 1 turn. I usually save this to attack the major settlement of Cothique right away with 2 lords and almost full stack of disciple armies. Also i like to subjugate both cothique and chrace at their minor settlements for devotee, vassals and buffer states reason. I am summoning the disciple army at turn 3 iirc, then i capture Cothique, move to Yvresse border, spread the corruption like crazy by maxing out corruption skills and edicts. So then i give all units to my second lord (herald with shadow lore), and she would summon another disciple army to attack Yvresse with 4 lords and crazy amount of units. You can join war from minor greenskin faction and they would give you a decent amount of money that way. And then you can create an Yvresse vassal when you will attack the greenskin faction itself at minor settlement(at port to keep them or another minor to tank the Tyrion hit). Also at 1 turn i like to demolish the cult building to get devotees and get second cultist for spreading gifts and then as second hero in the army. After capturing and vassalising Tyrion (ideally not in the shrine), i split my 2 armies to conquer Lothern super fast and get SoK when starting DE will take it (around turn 23-26) and then at that point i conquered almost all of the Ulthuan, while spamming disciples like crazy. P.S. Join wars for mone
So at 12:48 you say you need garrisons to protect them from attacks, while you could use vassals as buffer states and still get some money and potential units from them (lothern sea guard)
1.) "On 1 turn, you didn't pop the manifestation right away" Does not take effect until the next turn. Look at you movement- next time you pop it, doesnt change. Conversely, if you do this with Skarbrand's movement manifestation it does take effect same turn. 2.) "and you summoned disciple army too early on 1 turn. I usually save this to attack the major settlement of Cothique right away with 2 lords and almost full stack of disciple armies. " The purpose of this is to take the province on turn 1. Major settlements dont need reinforcements for wins as N'Kari, he is so fast he can solo the town square. 3.) I think you are overestimating the value of vassals in the early game.
@@nikitclaw4770 No watch my other video "4 Ways to Exploit Slaanesh Mechanics for Maximum Cheese" I create a trap by putting extra garrison at most of the ports. Then I leave one without one with a large disciple army under ambush stance. Because its a port they come ashore and get bushed
@@theartofsavescumming As i do but w/o walls, and usually in Cothique major settlement and Tralinia, because i don't vassalise Eltharion there. 1)Okay fair enough 2)As i said, you can save this disciple army for later rather. You can level up N'kari for max corruption, get some devotees out of vassalage and buffer state from Brettonians and vampires. Cothique vassalage is optional as i said and also you can try to ambush bait Cothique army. That usually works well. But you can save almost full stack of disciple armies to protect your starting province from surprise attack from Allarielle. 3)No i don't. Get a bunch of devotees, some additional local recruit slots from outposts(because you can't make more unless you level up draftmaster), and usually they listen to your commands like attack an army or defend your city. Free stacks of disciples, but entirely free (unless these port settlements are too good for you).
@@theartofsavescumming To solo a settlement early on, do you just deploy your army on one side, take N'Kari to another side's gate, then rush the victory point?
12:10 in that battle, your marauders managed to get like 100 kills while the enemy melee units of equivalent strength got not even half. How are you utilizing these troops?
@@Kayledon777 he posted another video where he does it lmaoo and usually when attacking a single lord if you can cheese the fight like that it’s worth. He also did a follow up video doing it legit way where he attacks the settlement instead
@@falconbridge21 I'd love to see how he manages fights over a campaign. I just get spanked or slow to a crawl. Takes over 100 turns to take over the horse shoe island for me
imo its better to take yvresse and leave eltharion with the shit settlmeent in the province when u subjugate him because you as the player is always gonna make better use of yvresse while the AI will still be able to have an army and give u devotees from being a vassal even with the minor settlmement
can't tell you how much I appreciate the not showing the battles! you do do a lot of things without saying what you are doing. Sure I can continually pause and rewind , but it'd be helpful.

Cothique vassalage is optional as i said and also you can try to ambush bait Cothique army. That usually works well. But you can save almost full stack of disciple armies to protect your starting province from surprise attack from Allarielle.
3)No i don't. Get a bunch of devotees, some additional local recruit slots from outposts(because you can't make more unless you level up draftmaster), and usually they listen to your commands like attack an army or defend your city. Free stacks of disciples, but entirely free (unless these port settlements are too good for you).
@@theartofsavescumming To solo a settlement early on, do you just deploy your army on one side, take N'Kari to another side's gate, then rush the victory point?
With the current patch you can not take both settlements in Round one. Not even the first settlement.
i did it, are you still stuck on it? maybe i can help you.
12:10 in that battle, your marauders managed to get like 100 kills while the enemy melee units of equivalent strength got not even half. How are you utilizing these troops?
I know you posted this 10 months ago and prob don’t care by now lol but he definitely camped their spawn point and trapped them
@falconbridge21 oh I definitely care!
What makes you believe that was the strat?
@@Kayledon777 he posted another video where he does it lmaoo and usually when attacking a single lord if you can cheese the fight like that it’s worth. He also did a follow up video doing it legit way where he attacks the settlement instead
@@falconbridge21 I'd love to see how he manages fights over a campaign. I just get spanked or slow to a crawl. Takes over 100 turns to take over the horse shoe island for me
Better to subjugation the first enemy
imo its better to take yvresse and leave eltharion with the shit settlmeent in the province when u subjugate him because you as the player is always gonna make better use of yvresse while the AI will still be able to have an army and give u devotees from being a vassal even with the minor settlmement
You want him to have a strong settlement to recruit units from
How LITHE i am!
can't tell you how much I appreciate the not showing the battles! you do do a lot of things without saying what you are doing. Sure I can continually pause and rewind , but it'd be helpful.
kds
i'm sorry, but how do you instant win the battle at 3:05? Is there a mechanic that makes them disband/instant lose?
capturing the victory points
