I enjoyed watching this. Tomb Kings cav are lack luster, but can be decent harassers. Their chariots are more of a threat, but require more micro managing. Most mounted units you typically need to micro though by making them charge in, then having them run away, turn around, and charge again. They have a boost to damage on the charge, but suffer in protracted engagements Generally you want buildings with Growth early game as it allows you to "level up" your cities (build Tier 2, 3, etc). Late game, it's not as important so you can destroy some growth buildings and replace them for other things Units gain Leadership, Attack, and Defense bonuses as they level up, making them more effective and durable. In the case of your Tomb Kings, it means it becomes harder to get them to crumble. So it's beneficial to get bonus unit levels when you can from heroes, but not necessarily your first priority.
@malthusoth Thank you for the tips and taking the time to watch and stop by. It's definitely a big game with a lot going on and I'll take all of the help I can get!
Settra's is a very solid beginner's faction because his lord and faction effects do everything to make you hit the ground running a whole lot faster than if you choose the other Tomb Kings. Tomb King buildings take a long time to build so cutting the construction duration by 1 turn is a big deal. Growth is also great because all the best parts of the Tomb Kings are locked behind Tier 4 and Tier 5 settlements and you can be waiting 50 turns to get there even if you build and upgrade growth buildings whenever possible at the expense of other things. Recruitment capacity +1 means you can build up your armies faster - and not just Settra's, as long as he's in the province. The replenishment bonus is also a huge boon because the less time you spend healing up, the more time you are spending conquering your expansion targets. Normally a +100% bonus to leadership radius is considered a very weak bonus but Tomb Kings have quite low leadership and anything that keeps them from crumbling is great. Settra later gains a very strong chariot mount and a Khemian Warsphinx mount and that means Settra is less likely to be close to his units because of how those mounts function. The leadership aura being doubled allows Settra to venture further away on those mounts without impacting his units' leadership. Finally, the +50% allegiance points with Tomb Kings allows you to play diplomatically if you wish and benefit from that by expanding your recruitment options without building the normally prerequisite military buildings. This feeds into you being more likely to be building growth, income and garrison buildings rather than spending your building slots on military buildings to increase your unit capacity. Have fun and enjoy one of the most badass characters that ever existed in the Warhammer fantasy universe.
Settra starts off in the most hostile region of the game, he has very aggressive factions on all sides and everyone hates him. You end up fighting Skarbrand, Arkhan, and Manfredd all at once.
@@toofelhoont2866 Yah by the time you finish you first province Manfredd can have 2 full stacks. It's all trash units, but so are yours. Like unless you are a god at chariot micro you are gonna have a rough time. Skarbrand has hyper elite infantry and well, Skarbrand . . .
I definitely vibed with the Tomb Kings more than the Ogre Kingdoms. I'm sure there is still plenty to learn that I didn't experience. What did y'all think of the desert undead?

@@SGProductions87 Thanks for all of the tips!! I'm definitely looking forward to learning more. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment!

@@Matt-sk6hi He is definitely in a challenging place on the map, it feels. Seems like getting a second army ASAP is almost required.

@@Matt-sk6hi I haven't played Skarbrand yet, but I hear his name whispered across TH-cam...
