@@BlakesTakes420 I generally agree with the Nurgle preference, their sorcerers and heroes work the best with monster armies in my experience. I am a bit mixed on Grimgor as a vassal though. Because there's a higher risk than usual of him grabbing a Dark Fortress Site and he doesn't do any trading, I might steer away from him. There have been campaigns where I've left him alone and some where I've destroyed him early. And I think I prefer destroying him early overall.

Absolutely been loving the videos! This one is great as well! I would like to see an update after the Thrones of Decay DLC. I did want to say that the strategy in reason 3 has been significantly harder to pull off now that the above Nurgle faction has a new legendary lord with some very powerful heroes ready to take "The Challenging Stone" right after you deal with the Tusked Sunz. May not be entirely consistent but after 2-3 runs it feels like Tamurkhan always destroys your Northern vassal and puts up a very hard fight for your capital by turn 5-9. This fight is mostly hard due to them having Anti-Large Rot Knights and Hero good at killing heroes on every run.

I think the advice to keep your sorcerers undivided if people are struggling is a good idea and agree you don't need the other lores. That being said, when you're able to better know where you'll need your caster during battle the chaos warshrines are a big buff for an army (more magic from tzeentch or free mortis engine aoe from slaanesh), and that along with fun lores make the devoted casters quite valuable. Getting to this point for WoC is easier than most factions since you're such a powerhouse and are often best served by murder ball tactics - or close enough for 40m buff at least :).

For the last tip, never seek alliance with your other warrior of chaos colleagues, just crush them and vassalize them. I rushed K'datha then Archaon province and vassalize him in the end, I had made a peace treaty with the first greenskins ennemy and so never bother going into the mountains of mourn. also for a WoC the general rule of the thumb is to get many fortresss as possible in the early game. And my favourite god to go with kholek was Tzeentch and so basically smash Vilitch 's face and proven that i am the worthiest guy to represent Tzeentch.

So at least for my runs and maybe it's because I wasn't using nurgle lords and heroes, but the Dragon Ogre Shaggoths always felt like they underperformed compared to the standard Dragon Ogres. While I'm sure following following my ABCs (Always Be Charging) can make Shaggoths shine, being able to turn off my brain and throw standard Dragon Ogres at a problem without worrying about them just getting snipped by ranged units and the higher model count allowing them to really tear through infantry faster always felt more valuable. Giants felt much more reliable given their model makes them fairly safe against Anti Large and they also don't get stuck in infantry blobs as much as the Shaggoths do from my experience. I'll give my next Kholek run a shot with the Nurgle lords and heroes as that might be what it takes for me to see the true potential in the Shaggoths. Beyond that, only major difference was I really don't like to risk going after Grimgore so early, I usually march into Cathay and get as many vassals as I can before tackling him, so I can be alongside him in the war front down the line to make sure he isn't wiping factions out.

For any Undivided WoC, Arcane Branding Iron and Virulent Blessings make Aspiring Champions corner camping GODS. Side note, I was unaware that souls, used in devoting heroes and lords to a monogod, count towards unlocking gifts. Thank you for that. I enjoy all of these "you suck with" videos. You got me to try Skraag. Which I'm still in disbelief over...but I did enjoy that campaign lol.

with the introduction of Tamurkhan, this got a bit obsolete. Still a lot of useful info though.

yeah, Tamurkhan's release start position was... Unfortunate. will have to revisit the first section.

Hey, that video was hilarious with all the funny edits! By the way, are you planning on making videos for all the legendary lords? If so, I'd love to see one for Arkan the Black!

When " eyes of the gods meter fills" after you've collected enough souls , an event will triggers that gives you a choice of rewards . One of those rewards reduces the cost of gifts by 75% . The factions base ability reduces " carnage incarnate gift " by 25% , allowing you to active the gift for 0 souls . Shaggoths by turn 17 .

These videos are incredible. I hope to learn how to not suck with the elves. ALL the elves. I could only make the sisters of twilight work. Other than that I suck with high elves, dark elves, other wood elf factions. I just suck with them all.

I hope more people speak up to CA about the generic chaos character mounts. All through TT history with Chaos, Marked Lords and heros do NOT lose access to Manticores (Chimera, who are not in the game) or Chaos dragons. Yep, you can even plop a Khorne Lord on a dragon if you choose. Futhermore, losing one upon marking them is LORE BREAKING. They risk their lives to break these creatures to their will (or risk themselves seeking an unholy alliance with the dragons) and would never ditch them simply because their god of choice finally stuck a mark on them. Chaos is a faction with extemely limited ranged units (and Khorne is limited with the use of ranged AND magic). They need access to those things that should be at their disposal to fill these holes. I see people complaining how straight forward and lacking in strategies alot of Chaos is, but when they have spent most the games lifespan without most of their units and characters, and now still don't have all their montrous mount units, I can see why people would think so. It limits the players choices and strategies. Putting all that aside, I do hope people make it known that they NEED these options to be a complete and fulfilling faction to play. God touched mounts are cool, but in usefulness, it makes marking champions a DOWNGRADE in most cases. And it shouldnt be that way! Better yet, CA could reskin these mounts and "theme" them for all 4 gods. Would be a great way to fluff up these chaos DLCs!

its just a PLANT BRO! 4:20 for life!! Also, remember that Khorne-inspiration race I was working on? FInalizing their lore, and gonna see if I can't pump out a chapter or two of coherent writing. Telling ya because I specifically remember ya asked me to tell ya when I dun' made progress with em'. They're essentially a lot like the Oracles of Tzeentch except w/ Skarbrand's Bloodletting mechanic and equally co-dependent economy. Don't have a good name for them yet tho. And their Rivals are essentially a love letter between the Empire, the Skaven, and the Orcs except they're stuck inside a polyamorous marriage. Also need a name lol.

Awesome video! One weird thing I've been encountering though is that I am unable to recruit the Summoners of the Rage at all :(. After capturing the challenge stone, I am unable to see them in my regiments of renown list, and they also do not appear at all in the regiment of renown list behind a lock or anything
