Damn I believe this may be the fastest sword collection possible.

[@TheAflameInferno]

I think that you can take it at turn 1 if the exploit that Legend used is still there :) Edit: this is actually interesting migration I would say and it is not like you are loosing all those turns on just moving from one place to another - you still gain some EXP and provinces :)

[@procrastination_at_perfection]

Legend brought me here. Will try this out

[@Pyromaniac77777]

This is sick, I love Malus but have never played him like this!

[@Abnormalproductions2]

I'm having a good time with this! I put the warmaster army on the black arc and I'm slowly working my way towards lothern with malus obliterating everything by himself! I Fused a few items to make the armor of everlasting servitude to give him 10 ward save and regeneration too and a talisman of preservation. SO SO fun. Took a few tries tho

[@Dejan19997]

Thanks mercy watched this strat on stream but now you have perfected it thanks

[@GrimgorTheImmortal]

Great guide man!

[@jakubs.5966]

Nice idea and execution!

[@polyperchon4511]

The last week, I was searching the quickest way to gain the sword of Khaine... I found it! Thanks! That's sick and powerful! Keep continue like that ;)

[@ihavenomouthandimustmeme]

Who is here watching this mad lad cheese lord after Legend's saving your campaign disaster?

[@MercytheMad]

Big thanks to Legend for the Shoutout!

[@nicky640]

Awesome! I just sailed Malus south but this is way better

[@rigney8707]

This is so funny, I saw this after legend dealt with a disaster battle where someone tried to follow this but got stuck in a siege after they got the sword!

[@antonionotmyrealnamo6333]

This is the most beautiful scummy thing I've ever seen!

[@nathanspreitzer6738]

crazy good strategy

[@greylotus1]

Please make a video about how borrowing an army helps confederation in detail!

[@YabguNizamPasha]

I will tryyyyy ofc

[@dubuyajay9964]

Guide to get this sword and the new crown as Vlad Von Carstein please.

[@clockmonkey]

Don't think I've ever used the Sword of Khaine. Have seen it at least once in most Campaigns but after reading Elric have resisted the temptation to pick the fecker up.

[@reubenhilliard9208]

This was so much fun! Do you have any other OP 10-20 character turn guides like this?

[@MercytheMad]

Yeah sure, I have a few like this. Most of the longer videos are early game guides.

[@garyscarisbrick8621]

ooooh this is brutal!

[@anjairis]

Bloody brilliant but very complicated and not easy to remember, when I try this next I will have to pull up this video and go slowly step by step :P

[@Pyromaniac77777]

Hey but it’s totally worth it right? Wouldn’t be the first campaign I started while following a guide step by step 😅

[@MercytheMad]

This is pretty optimised, but simple version is just: 1. Get money and only SACK Black Rock don't occupy it until after you have saved 13200. 2.Once you have 13200 drink potion twice and do rite of the warmaster. Move your rite of the warmaster army into the water, then disband malus and Black ark. THEN Occupy Black Rock and Sell it to Malekith 3. Then go to Ulthuan, take Shrine of Khaine and Rush the Shrine of the Widowmaker up once you have the Slaves you need.

[@Whatever100500]

I don't find sword of khaine all that valuable due to campaign debuffs, but the fast migration to Ulthuan is interesting. Better than conquering sparse low value settlements in chaos wastelands, and seems to score a lot of points with Malekith for early confederation.

[@redbeard_the_baker]

This is awesome, I’m excited to try it. Would it be possible for you to write a quick summary in the description or a pinned comment?

[@MercytheMad]

That's a good idea, but I'm a bit busy at the moment with Shadows of Change coming, realistically I'll probably never get back around to do it. Edit: Actually if you want a simple, non-optimised version, this is basically it: 1. Get money and only SACK Black Rock don't occupy it until after you have saved 13200. 2.Once you have 13200 drink potion twice and do rite of the warmaster. Move your rite of the warmaster army into the water, then disband malus and Black ark. THEN Occupy Black Rock and Sell it to Malekith 3. Then go to Ulthuan, take Shrine of Khaine and Rush the Shrine of the Widowmaker up once you have the Slaves you need.

[@Jin-vx2oe]

As the DLC comes out. Think you may do some counter strategy videos? For instance, empire verses Tzeench. Snitch vs the new Cathay and such for players that will face the new factions.

[@MercytheMad]

good idea!

[@Daemon861]

Will chaos dwarfs withstand him, using their death quake mortars + infantry guns modifiers from bufs?

[@JamesFordMusic]

Top 5 best cheese

[@Charlys787]

I can't remember: Is the timed decay of Tz'arkan based on leadership, so unbreakable would prevent that from happening?

[@MercytheMad]

Tzarkan constantly loses health per second as soon as you transform afaik

[@tobydorman3998]

gg

[@mrrip7184]

I struggle alittle with money when doing this, any tips on where to go after getting the sword? to get money? thanks :D

[@MercytheMad]

Kill all the Elves on Ulthuan , loot their corpses and sack their cities. Just taking Malus plus black ark around the coast and sacking everything makes good money (the Black Ark building that boosts post battle loot stacks with multiple black arks, so you can have 2-3 following Malus for extra loot). Remember to put all your troops in your black arks for upkeep reduction where possible. You can also peace out with the Scourge of Khaine(orange dark Elves) or N'Kari then sell settlements to them, for some quick cash. Make sure you don't make any alliances or pacts with them (so you can betray them and steal the settlements back later). Hope this helps :)

[@mrrip7184]

@@MercytheMad wow, thanks alot for a great answer! appreciate it alot and will keep all this in mind :D thanks!

[@KEKCMAH]

Even with sword of khaine and all proper items malus still got no chance against Vlad the Chad.

[@Charlys787]

I would be interested to see that duel.

[@Sleepy_Eepy9887]

This just doesn’t work for me. People don’t pay for me peace, the coming out of forced march and switching lords to attack doesn’t work, cylostra runs off, taurox attacks me in cylostras city.. etc. maybe it just doesn’t work on normal? 🤷‍♂️ Edit: the shrine is never even built at all in the city, so i gotta destroy a random building and rebuild it too

[@MercytheMad]

You don't need them to pay you for peace, that's not require, just a bonus if it happens. But you DO need them to pay you to join their wars on turn 1, otherwise it will delay you while you save the money. Diplomacy may be different on different difficulties. The switching lords thing only works if you are within the zero movement cost ring around the settlement(you need to be basically right on top of the settlement). If there is the tiniest gap between your army and the settlement it may not work. Try placing your army RIGHT next to the settlement before you switch lords(this part is a game mechanics exploit and will work on any difficulty). It doesn't matter if they build the shrine or not, you will pretty much always need to either repair it or demolish a building that's already there so you lose a turn either way.

[@Sleepy_Eepy9887]

@@MercytheMad alright, thank you!

[@kohtalainenalias]

How good is Sword of Khaine?

[@MercytheMad]

It's very good for killing stuff. Makes most Lords a one man army, or close to. But Malus is probably the strongest. Eventually the sword changes and starts giving you hefty faction penalties, but they are pretty manageable/ignorable for some factions.

[@prototypechile]

This doesn’t work in the new patch no?

[@MercytheMad]

Haven't tested in 4.0.1 but it assume it still works the same, worked in 4.0 . takes a little linger to get slaves now though.

[@TheJuniblex]

One thing: Why you need that much lvl1 lord?

[@buttqueef9900]

They add a lot of balance of power

[@easytanksgaming3238]

​@@buttqueef9900and also more postbattle loot, idk how but it works

[@TheJuniblex]

Thank you!

[@jonhmata]

Yeah you can maximize your slave gain by having as many lords as possible in every battle

[@MercytheMad]

@TheJuniblex Each extra Lord gives an extra change for Magic item drop and also increases the number of slaves you get from battles. Especially the extra slaves is very important for this strat so you can rush build the shrine asap.

[@Vuloce]

damn you talk fast dude
