Some things to keep in mind in case you aren't familiar: the shadow malevolent treemen are the only ones who get access to the insidious glamour ability which fixes the debuff to wood elf units. Not sure if you ever plan to have wood elves in your armies, but if you are aiming for it then keep that in mind. There's also an office that gives insidious glamor so I recommend not giving that slot to a shadows Treeman
Protip, Wood Elves have access to a frankly overpowered follower called the "Forest Spirit," which lowers enemy leadership in the region, and cna be equipped by both lords and heroes. IIRC, it has a small chance to drop anytime a character (either and both lords or heroes) wins a battle.
So glad to see you fully recovered from your sickness and I hope you are doing well. Glad to watch your Drycha for the next weeks. I'm interested to see, how effective the heathlands raising will turn out. I found the growth buildings for growth to adjacent provinces quite helpful for the trees, but this way you get your forest health up quicker.
Drychaaaaa letsss goo; she is seriously underestimated and overlooked ty for starting a campaign with her. cant wait too see rest of the campaign. Ive been along on your channel for a while new and became a new fan. Thank you so so much for this content Ruinos as a fellow streamer im happy seeing you work hard.
The forest invasions are based on your strength rank, monstersabound got an army entirely made of spiky hydras from the dark elves (no idea what they're called(
Lol now I have yet another series to watch. Still in the middle of the Vlad Campaign and then was going to go to Ikit, now a Drycha one too? Man, loving the content and so glad I was recommended your stuff.
Further note: the campaign mission is bugged. You can never destroy the waystones but the mission should still complete normally if you manage to defeat all the enemy units like a domination battle. There is a mod to try and fix the bugs with the mission if you experience issues
I normally find it better to clear the hearthland then occupy so you can clear corruption and make a bubble of control around each tree. You get the growth bonus for clearing and then you build the buildings that give you trade items or just growth to deny the living your territory.
Dang, it really seems like the new forests all have much better bonuses than the WH2 ones. For Drycha, might be worth it to rush the one over by Cathay...
in case you didnt know you should not go to the witchwood untill the sisters of twilight have ariel since you wont get the quest the only way to get her is through confediration
Oh shit, a Ruinous campaign I'll actually be able to follow from Turn 1, in (almost) real time! What great night this has become! Totally optional, selfish-on-my-part side request: when you're ready for them, take down all of the Rouge Pirates--I’ve become intensely fascinated in those factions over the past week or so and am curious to see how different major (and modded, tbh) factions handle those very distinct armies…even if dealing with them benefits you in virtually no way, other than the XP and whatever else you pull off their corpses. Also am trying to find IE gameplay of them to see if a)their compositions are exactly the same as they were in Aye-Aye! patch, and b)for future reference, whenever I finally get around to buying this trilogy myself
I find it kinda funny(interesting funny, not ha-ha funny) that Monster Abound is about 25 episodes into his Durthu campaign and the vermintide just launched for him. I don't know if you follow MA or not.
Thanks for this! I Love your campains with vampire counts and now my thrid favorite faction! Will you ever do or where can i vote for a campain with Grimgor Ironhide?
the buffs you get for fighting in trees is kinda ridiculous, good to see there are times where you get to benefit from it. also personally i go for poplar first, early growth is just so good
Oh wow did you do this on purpose lol😄. You worked so hard to be friends with her playing as the vampires. Now you got a story. "What was Draycha doing all that time while Vlad and Izzy were taking over the world". 😄
Just started this so not sure how far ahead you are in episode 2 but as a heads up: Drycha's quest to get Coeddil is (was last I played anyway) bugged. She does not get Coeddil upon completion so you may have to use a mod or something to get him. The only one I know of is one that lets you start with him. I hope it's fixed though.
Do you use any mods? Ive been getting into total war alot and was curious if you used any mods that youd recommend someone else use for quality of life sorta stuff

Aaaah Drycha... what a good character
Now let's crank up those racism dials till they break! Since we you are basically playing as tree Hitler
You might want to get the jungles of CHian in Cathay, it has a building for -30% upkeep for all forrest spirits
Plus it gives immunity to chaos/waste corruption which can be quite handy too!

I have a feeling that when those knights asked for a shrubbery, they did not expect this.
If there's a chance, you should confederate with Durthu, after all, he is a fellow tree spirit, he just needs a little...persuasion
Nice! I love Drycha's aesthetic
i love your videos man just keep it going

to answer your question about the first battle of a campaign.
the army will always be wiped out when it is the starter enemy army.

Charybdis :3
@@TaskForce-ql3bx thx
i have been waiting for this playthrough, thanks a lot))

Really looking forward to this campaign. Roll on the next episode
Drycha campaign, lets goooo!
Our favorite tree mommy!!! Yes!!!
May the great forest cover the whole world again.

Razing is useful but claiming them and putting growth buildings helps boost low level trees.
Hey man thanks for teaching me how to play the game properly,also love the commentary and everything. Much love
I've never tried getting the forest health tech at level 1 before. Interesting idea to rush your starting forest's health.
Thanks for another campaign bro good luck

Omfg! I was wating for eternity for this ❤️❤️❤️
Dang, it really seems like the new forests all have much better bonuses than the WH2 ones. For Drycha, might be worth it to rush the one over by Cathay...
Lets us water the land with the blood of our enemies.
in case you didnt know you should not go to the witchwood untill the sisters of twilight have ariel since you wont get the quest the only way to get her is through confediration
Ah, drycha. My favorite wood elf faction. Her bark is definitely just as bad as her bite
I’m loving this play through so far
True netrual faction
Looking forward to this one, drycha is my favourite lord
Just discovered your channel. I like your narration and play styles. Looking forward to this campaign.
Allying norscans such as wintertooth to get mammoths and frost wyrms could be cool
Dropping a like and comment for the algorithm, as instructed.
That Glow of the Treeman reminds me of the Protoss....😳😍

This is some great micro, can’t wait to see more of this campaign! Would you consider doing the pirate factions in the future? Cheers😊
Time to sow what you reap!
New series, I like that!
Question.
Do Treemen get morning wood?
Hard to tell since they're always so Knotty.
I find it kinda funny(interesting funny, not ha-ha funny) that Monster Abound is about 25 episodes into his Durthu campaign and the vermintide just launched for him. I don't know if you follow MA or not.
Get some sambre tusk from the ogres in fact make it a point to get as many different animals as possible
Those are Ents and you can't tell me otherwise.

+1 interaction bonus.
Cheese!!!
The poison on all ur units seems busted early especially since it slows them
Ah I'm surprised its not latest patch's gem Orion the psychopath campaign lol
Oh wow did you do this on purpose lol😄. You worked so hard to be friends with her playing as the vampires. Now you got a story.

Isn’t the quest for Coeddil broken?
Emperor Balthazar Gelt full map conquest when?
Do you use any mods? Ive been getting into total war alot and was curious if you used any mods that youd recommend someone else use for quality of life sorta stuff
Is there any chance of a snikch campaign in the future?
Do You know You cant get Coedhil cus Drychas quest is broken? Or is it fixed now?
Bro why the tree have jugs 😂
keep it wooden my dude
Drycha
Remember drycha hates wood elves, you shouldnt have any elves in your army more tematic
GG
Vampires all the way. maybe you can even Ally with the vampire coast. And arkhan.
do some egyptian campaign
So in that first fight you lost 8 units but under the scavin they killed 10 units. Wait what?
2 teamkills
good lord man u spent half the video deciding on your first tech.....🤨
Close to first half of the video is only the first turn. some stuff mostly not important.
Wood I
👍🏾
stop using ironically
