[@johnny13x2]

For those looking for the new guys: Elspeth is obviously in Nuln, right next to Karl. Epidemius is up where Daniel was, moving Daniel one house to the right. Tamurkhan is over in Kdatha, look above Kolek and to the right of Archaon. Malakai took a while for me because his faction flag is red and in a clustered area, but he's over where the Norscan Dwarfs are. So look to the right of Throgg, and below Boris. Also just in case you've missed it, Mr. Gelt is over in cathay now, right next to the Iron Dragon.

[@MidnightBlackandVictoria]

CA has had a vendetta against Chaos since game 1 I think.....I could list a whole bunch of reasons that show that they view the faction as an annoying afterthought, or just don't understand them at all. Not to say they don't do some things VERY well with them. But its a mixed bag. Almost like half the team working them either doesnt understand the faction, or outright hates the faction. Which is sad, and really hurts the game, because Chaos was always popular, and for a long time was the second most played faction behind the Empire. Not exactly who you want to drop the ball with. And I think, whether it has dawned on people consciously or not, this is why the 3rd game has been widely not as popular as the first two games. Here are some, but not all, of the examples. 1) Archaon was originally on a pony of chaos, as were all chaos knights 2) They had an excruciatingly boring presence in the first 2 games with probably the worst gameplay 3) Their generic lord and hero character models went from really good back in game one and two, to chibi in game 3 (I mean really, just look at the Khorne characters in WoC. 4) They get a really cool "Dark Fortress" mechanic, but don't get any in the southern part of the map. 5) They get ONE LL each at launch in the game that was supposed to finally give them their due. (CA still had not realized that these 4 and undivided are separate factions that are stand alone entities I guess? 6) Pestigors and Tzaangors are DOWNGRADES from Bestigors.....So much for only the most worthy being marked I guess. 7) For being a faction known for its variety and diverse looks, they have the least amount of variants of any faction with its characters. And the variants they DO have are so minute, you need a microscope to see them. Khorne suffers from this worse than any of them. Yes, they have the "Khornate" armor on many of them but they arent all supposed to look like they rolled off an assembly line. To be fair, its GW who started screwing up their designs like this first, but here was a chance to go back to basics and present them right as it HAD to be noticable in play that making them all clones ruined their vibe. And where are the random tentacles, and other mutations ALL Chaos Daemons and mortals are supposed to have? Go look at some older edition Khorne models. Some have the look of the ones in the game, yes. But some have horned helms and spikier armor. Some have no helm. Some have a helm with a single spike and no shirt. These arent a prim and proper army. They are nutcase savages from a warped wasteland. They are not going to look orderly with proper rank and file matching attire. 8) Marking your characters is supposed to be the highest achievement and greatest upgrade a chaos character can get, but here, you lose access to two of their best mounts (Manticores and Chaos dragons) which ARE an available option for all marked Lords and Heros (well, manticores for heros) on TT. Making marking them a DOWNGRADE instead as the benefits of marking them isnt worth losing two of the best and most useful chaos mounts. It really screws up immersion as well, for those who know the lore and know the process they go through to gain these beasts. And theres more. But you get the idea. By themselves, they are probably not that big an issue.....Which is probably why most don't even KNOW what bothered them about game three, especially TT fans.....But when you add these things up..... I'm hoping they hire ONLY true fans of the faction (preferably fans of 6th-7th editions) and rework them right! It really would be a worthwhile investment on their part. After all, look at how well received Champions of Chaos was. Because it fixed alot of things that would have ALSO still been on this list!

[@Just_Fez]

​@@MidnightBlackandVictoria I like them :)

[@MidnightBlackandVictoria]

@@Just_Fez Me too. I just know it could be better, and I think they have some people on the team who love the faction, and some who just don't get it. In fact its because I love chaos that these things are noticed. Don't get me wrong. CA has done some incredible things with them. But I know they could do better if they would just vet those working on it. And the reason I think its staff has to do with a conversation I had with a former staff member on Reditt. One thing they should probably do, is consult some of these big channel's dedicated to WH, and LISTEN to them. 1 LL at launch was kind of ridiculous, when you know how many Lords and Heroes there are in the Lore they could have pulled from, and STILL had a ton for DLC. The darker and more expansive the villains, the more fun the forces of light will have confronting them as well, so this benefits everyone to do so imo.

@@abdalrahmankhataan7231 Its not about how strong they are. Its about representation, and lore/immersion. And that "vibe" is important.

That warpath Throgg burned all the way down to Athel Loren around turn 175 was impressive. And it was heartwarming to see Zhao Ming and Gelt working together to take out Ghorst and Kugath, though it took over 100 turns for them to take his 10 settlements. Same problem as previous though, the AI still looks mostly passive. Miao Ying did nothing the whole game, and Karaz a Karak remained basically passive for almost 300 turns until they starting dying to . . . Ungrim?? I was hoping to see a few superpowers emerge and fight it out. But aside from the Tomb Kings taking over Africa, none of the factions came to dominate their starting continent. Oh and it took both Cathay factions + Gelt over 450 turns to finally destroy Yusak, that minor norscan faction north of the gates that Vilitch vassalizes on turn 1.

I am amazed at how well balanced to lore Ulthuan is. No single dominating faction but any non elf faction gets a foothold and get beaten back consistently and the elves that make it off get beaten back to Ulthuan consistently. Just a shame that lizardmen get stomped on in their traditional turf and turned to ruins - wait that is pretty consistent to lore as well. Looks like some balancing to the dwarfs and Settra are needed once again however, though I can't say I am surprised. They are a challenge to simultaneously balance and make fun without the addition of dogs of war/independent kingdoms to balance the area same as with the wood elfs in Tilea and Estalia problems.

This looks like my last 10 playthroughs. Nurgle didn't come out well, and Empire took a while. I suppose I didn't expect massive changes, but when you see the same stuff every time it does say something about balancing.

[@linussyren9221]

Epidiuous turn 21 destruction Maggot lord ~47 Kugath - 205 I kinda expected AI nurgle to stick around longer with the two new factions.

[@Professionalwhitericeater]

The biggest problem with wh3 rn is not having an endgame chaos invasion, archaon never get to invade the empire, we never get the endgame grimgor invading the empire through blackfire pass like we did in wh2. Honestly fighting both the chaos invasion and grimgore as the empire was my best total war experience ever, it’s almost just as hard as playing western Rome in Attila.

[@TheBall12]

Why dont you activate endgame crises with the chaos factions, its just the same thing. 10+stacks of doom spawning razing/crippling everything in there path.... boring.

[@Professionalwhitericeater]

@@TheBall12 no empire endgame, no lizard man endgame, no high elf endgame, no kislev endgame, played against wood elves and dwarf a Endgames, just fighting stacks of wood elves and dwarfs is not that fun, also it’s not really lore accurate, we need a end time dlc so the players could rewrite history

[@TheBall12]

@@Professionalwhitericeater You can select one or more endgame crises. So just activate "lore accurate" (chaos warriors, etc.) endgame crises. Its not exactly the same as in the endtimes but tww can not show it much better anyway.

[@sullivan889]

Nakai just chilling, no wars just living in Cathay is funny

[@Kraniumbrud]

clan pestilence is doing well!

[@FxTR22]

500 turns later and high elves never managed to confederate. Some things never change XD

[@kash1414]

Naki just chilling in Cathay the whole time

[@hariiratnavel1587]

imagine living in the high elf colonies and just seeing the whole world divulge into chaos and your homeland nearly overrun while you sit on the tens of millions of dollars you collect this whole time.

[@djordjebojovic4768]

I dream of the day i see lizardmen past turn 50 when I'm not playing as them

[@lilbruh1151]

Gotta love the island where nothing happened the entire game, went and took 1 or 2 settlements on mainland after 300 turn and kept losing and winning the same settlement over there while nobody attacked them.

[@jaspermooren5883]

I think it has been programmed that way for a while now. I don't think I've ever seen the eastern colonies be aggressive ever, and everyone else has too many problems to give a shit about them.

[@mr.linguineman785]

I lost count of the amount of times i said " What the fuck just happened there

[@dudeimjames3638]

weird that Kairos didn't really get a foothold at all. He usually has all of Araby and Nehekara in my campaigns by like turn 70 at the earliest.

[@DevixianTheOriginal]

Man I really wish that they'd actually give lizardmen a boost or something, they always seem to get shafted.

[@zotykundel2736]

Damn, Ku'gath can't get any rest still. But worry not, I'll be there soon

[@Jo-Heike]

Ungrim Ironfist, "Hold my Beer."

[@vincentred1870]

Grimgor destroying all of the Ogre Kingdoms by turn 50 and becoming nr1 happens in every campaign of mine.

[@Вейн-э5б]

>be the greatest champion of Khorne >be an unstoppable war machine, absolute one man army >die to a bunch of shitty skelly bois by turn 25

[@TheDoomlord7]

It’s cool seeing dwarfs get a W for once

[@ogaroger]

How is the little orange dark elf faction on ulthulan still alive😂😂

[@Zegrest6062]

I think they resurrected by a rebellion lol.

[@phaeron2450]

After all those changes, kugath has not moved from his starting location. They really need to move him from that location. A very simple solution. him and ghorst switch starting positions.

[@trixus4768]

It is interesting to see that the Old World dwarfen factions (Ungrim, Belegar and Thorgrim) are performing really well, while Malakai and Grombrindal got smashed🤔

[@TheNightmare2711]

I've played a lot of new campaigns in this game, and in none of them have Tomb Kings, Cathai, Vampires, or Green skins ever survived more than 30-40 turns. They still die within 40 turns. And in every campaign Vampire Coast take over the entire territory of the high elves... always

[@MayflowerWatson]

How do you make these autorun campaigns? I want to try running some myself

[@lukaspodany5210]

I wonder if they will open up the rest of the map sometime in the future.. the bit by The Jade sea and The Sea of Dread....

[@bibby659]

I feel like I understand now why some of these timelapse things remove the location of the lords on the map, because it adds way to much clutter as is and you can barely tell what is going on.

[@jp28dew]

I'm surprised scourge of khaine is still there for 500 turns

[@Gabriel-px8cv]

i really didn't miss the ordertide

[@lilz_relixx5913]

how did teclis live that long? khemri passed him and invaded the southern wastes and he still made it holding like 3 settlements to turn 250!

[@ComfortingColourlessLight]

The new DLC faction not surviving to turn 30?! That's going in the book.
