      Depending on who you play you need to rush. The Golden Order can rush down Sylvannia completely by turn 10, in turn giving you an Option to attack Drycha and Azhag early. After securing the east your economy is strong enough to challenge the nurglites with two stacks at least. All of this achieved with mostly huntsmarshal archer spam and Gelts starting roster. Sylvannia can also be a good late early game recruitment center. For money raid Caravans whenever possible and then... you will still be fucked in the late Game

      That was obsolete even back during TWW1.
      The Empire was a very easy start.... Before wood elves, Beastmen and the upgraded Norscan faction came about. You rushed Marienburg, Bretonnia secured your flank or you could just take out the isolated orc settlements , take out the Vampires at your ease and then slowly fortify for Chaos. Or invade Kislev and fortify there(and also, the whole of Kislev was habitable. In return, the mountains were not able to be settled by you. )
      When Beastmen and Wood Elves came, the Empire became hard.
      When Skarsnik and the reskinned Orcs, it became very hard. Add in Grom and well..... Thankfully wood elves stopped being so hardcore aggressive and remained in the woods unless they were dyrads.
      Not to mention, Norscan DLC meant Norscans were no longer pussies that you crushed with ease. A marauder based army with warhounds and chariots was just..... Absurdly outmatched.

      Hard agree. I’ve done Gelt and Wulfhart campaigns so far and Gelt is my toughest campaign ever with Wulfhart being a pretty close second. Even Dwarfs aren’t all that bad compared to them despite so many people claiming they’re in desperate need of a rework.

    Note on the Tattersouls and Flagellants: Both have effectively 10 extra melee attack and 10% more damage and charge bonus compared to what the unit card shows. That's because they have Frenzy, and unbreakable means they will never lose the bonus from it.

      They’re an interesting faction, but easily the weakest I’ve ever played so far. Being a jack of all trades makes them a master of none and I think their lack of any particular signature strength is a major liability for their functionality. That and the fact that their actually good mid to late game units take far too long to acquire imo meaning you’re stuck with their largely trash early game units far too long for my personal taste.

    • @magni5648
      @magni5648 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      Two ways to deal with that:
      1. Focus fire on the fliers first as they come in. Anything bigger than bats warrants having a great cannon pointed at it, too.
      2. Keep a unit or two of Spearmen or Halbediers in reserve behind your missile line to intervene and free up your missile units.
      VC infantry are fairly trash, so your frontline can last for a while as long as you keep leadership up. Use that to kill the high-threat stuff - fliers, cavalry and monsters - first.

    Sadly, from my experience, Empire army is one of the weakest late game, in its full potential, compared to what other races can field late game. That's probably the only race with which I cannot create 'ultimate army' that steamrolls any AI stacks. Their roster needs serious rework, it's simply outdated, with all of new races that were added after game1.

    I saw lots of Empire army guide, this one included. Everything they tell isn't right. Empire isn't have overall troops and lack some monsters and air. Empire have a shit infantry, a shit cavalry and no monsters. What they really have is really great artillery, access to gunpowder infantry (not great, but at least they have it) and gunpowder cavalry. They have a very decent spear line and infantry, that good against spear line or other units that are shit in melee... which can be killed by any missile or gunpowder units more effectively. And they have access to some of the strongest schools of magic. So generic spears, shit infantry, decent but slow cavalry, decent gunpowder infantry, great gunpowder cavalry, really great artillery and good magic.
