Can You Beat Total Warhammer 3 Using Only SKAVENSLAVES?

[@mrbigglezworth42]

Skaven have defeated the enemy in the battle, and lossed 10,000 skaven in the process. This was considered, "minor casualties"

[@Tonyx.yt.]

I tought 10 millions was considered minor casualties, 10k it's more like an irrelevant skirmish

[@soulie2001]

"For every armored Kossar, there are 5-10 dead Skavenslaves" Ikit Claw- "Hmm, yes-yes"

[@lunarlegion7157]

In lore that is the skaven policy friendly fire not including enemy damage. A true skaven will kill more of their own (friends) than the enemy.

[@ejire4407]

@@lunarlegion7157 Well in skaven society "friends" are not really considered "friends" they are either subject to experiment on, someone to take advantage of and that you will backstab one day, your enemy or simply put some stupid cannonfolder/meatshield. So yes this is very skaven like behaviour.

[@ejire4407]

@@deezboyeed6764 Clan Skryre (including ikit) use skavenslave and clanrat to test their new weapon that most of the time explode killing them in the process. Clan Mors (especially Queek) kill those that want to take their place as leader (chieftain, warlord...) and doesn't matter if an army of clanrat dies in a battle. Clan pestilens send their plague monk to die in a frenzy because what biggest honor to die in battle spreading the great love of the the great horned rat's plague? Clan Riktus backstab anyone because they feel like it (especially if it is from clan Mors) Clan Moulder experiment on its own subject just like clan Skryre doesn't matter if they die. Clan Eshin doesn't backstab each other because they have absolute loyalty to the council of thirteen, listen to orders and they are the ones who backstab. They learned this in Cathay because they were not like that before. Should i continue? All of them are like that.

[@joaogomes9405]

"For every armored Kossar, there are 5-10 dead Skavenslaves" Honestly, pretty good numbers for skaven

Wow, considering how many enemies both Kostaltyn and Tsarina have, you should be honored they're trying to skavenpile you early game.

[@D34DHUNT3R1]

I love skaven so much. "Come Man-thing; kill, fight! Kill as many of us as you can! 10? 100? 1000? 100,000? Bah, it matters not! Each rat you slay is simply food for 10 more rats preparing to join the horde. Each pack of rats you slaughter an opening for a new legion of cackling vermin an opertunity to clamor for status. So I say again, man-thing, fight! Fight till your glory becomes legend. Fight till the fields turn soggy with blood. Fight till our bodies cover the ground. Fight till your weapon dulls. Fight till your armor cracks. Fight till your fists break. Fight till your legs collapse. Fight till the hope dies in your eyes. Fight till your walls crumble. Fight till your city burns. Fight till the chitter of rats drowns out the screams. Hah! It matters not if you fight or not, it all ends the same. The end times are here, man-thing- and it comes in the skittering of Rats."

If skaven ever made it to 40k, they would use the same tactic as the russians (allegedly) in WW1. Send in the first wave armed, the rest gets only ammo (if they´re lucky) - you can always count on the first wave dying anyway, so why bother with supplying the rest if there are more than enough weapos for the taking. heck, for thematic purpose, you could say only one in every thirteen troops is (hard airquotes) "properly" equiped

"We're using Skaven tide tactics here." Got me with that one.

[@serysharpscale9703]

Personally I think a warlock engineer would be great if you used Death Frenzy on those skavenslaves. An AOE buff when you pile so many skavenslaves should complement it well. As well as having a plague priest who can further buff them with the poison AOE buff too.

[@TheDribbley]

[@tomayto70]

Folkmar are "near" - +2/2 stats would be great too. But most effective would be moulder buff that give to unit "rampage". Great attack and morale buff for them

[@DOLLACROSS]

Hell yea another series begins, can't wait and see how this unfolds

[@Uncle-Funkle]

I will be amazed if you are ever allowed to auto-resolve a single genuine battle this campaign. Skaven auto-resolve probability is fucked. Other than that, let's friggin go with this campaign! Super stoked to see it. Super stoked to see you getting sponsorship deals too, that's awesome!

[@BrilliantStupidity]

The auto-resolve isn't the worst so far. Definitely not favorable, but it's quite a lot better than it was with the Gun Campaign. Thanks for the support on the sponsorship(s)! I'm hoping to only take them when I feel like they are 1. a good, ethical company. and 2. Less annoying/intrusive than the normal midroll ads would be. I've been watching a lot of Coffezilla recently and goddamn do some KZbinrs (who rhyme with Bogan Baul) do unethical shit lol. Not planning on any Crypto pump and dumps or anything like that - although I certainly hope that no one would fall for it if I did after dozens of KZbinrs have.

[@nightlordnorris4446]

Tbh I ended up getting Total War Warhammer 2 not long ago (I'm usually way behind on getting all the good stuff these days) and I played and finished Clan Moulder, and I remember my friends telling me to use Clan Rats, but I had like 4 armies filled with skavenslaves and that's really I needed. The bonuses and expandability of them was great! The Moulder mechanics basically made them even better as long as you are careful. God..it's such a grind though. Auto resolve is off the table. And you will need to prioritize food and growth and uner cities because you will need that Menace From Below.

[@sympunny8636]

Fun campaign, you're missing out on a ton of money tho. Whenever you have spare movement with skaven, you should sack THEN occupy, as skaven reduces it to tier 1 anyways (without food boosting). So it's really just free money.

[@easytanksgaming3238]

But if sacking gives u less than about 1200-1600 gold then repairing main building is actually have higher price. And of cos PO penalties strong, but... Province would rebel anyway, and cities would be auto repaired anyway too, and... u really have to build only 2 economic building, so))))

This looks great so far, honestly surprised they're trading as well as they have been. The auto resolve is never gonna be your friend though, unfortunately. I am curious if you'll be leaning on heroes carrying the battles since you called out the warpstone engineers. Given that the AI is super prone to bunching up in Warhammer 3, you probably can get some amazing spell casts.

[@Magicka24]

What a lovely holiday special this is.

[@PesterJester3]

warlock engineers are a good choice for the mobility and the doom rocket they get can deal with crowds, they also have lore of ruin which is handy, i dont play TWH3 since i dont have it but in 2, they dont have arcane conduit so magic gain will be slow, if you're gonna have only one hero in each army and reinforce each army with another, i suggest having one with a plague priest in it for plagues and arcane conduit, maybe have a pack master or assassin in the third army just for diversity or lord fighting but all your choice in the end! Also, if you get enough multigene, i suggest just hammering down on one unit to unlock all the ones you need, blend it and then you have all the mutations you want without having to slowly climb up and risk. So you can have slaves with regen and necroparasites without having to risk mutations over time. Hope that was easy to understand

[@vomitman7533]

Plague Priests might be the best Skavenslave hero since they can spawn clan rats (not quite skaven slaves, but close) Also the mounts, magic, and other benefits would compliment the horde style of play quite well.
