Drazhoath is the friendliest of the new Chorf lords, he's always willing to Hashut the shit with anyone, doesn't let his legendary lord status get in the way of chatting with the regular chaos dorf.

Drazhoath's entire story with Astragoth is really that of the unpaid, unappreciated intern who leaves, creates a start-up that becomes huge and successful, only to return and buy out the entire company where he was everyone's door mat. 😅

[@thewretchedpleb7484]

Very true, Mr president 😂 Love how at the beginning of my campaign I had almost nothing and now I own half the world. Bout to have to start breaking treaties just to have someone left to fight. You can really start to snowball out of control after you confederate the other factions. That said, even from the start you can make steady gains in all fields as long as you don't get bullied too hard early on. The only problem I've ran into is 10 minute turns of building and upgrading cities (not counting battles). I tried setting some provinces to auto construct but it immediately caused a ctd 🙃

No Greenskin shall go unenslaved, no fire shall be extinguished, and metal shall go unrefined. Glory to Hashut! Start the fires of industry and never shut the off! I really hope you can do Astrogoth and Zhatan soon. We need the full collection together for all the Chaos Dwarf Legendary Lords.

I still think CA did the Legions a bit dirty because K’daai doesn’t feel like their thing. However it is fun

[@Le-cp9tr]

@Kaio Hyzel K’daai are cool but I feel Ironhand’s faction effects should be buffing them and the symbols of his God whereas Drazhoath should focus on reducing infernal guard and ironsworn as well as artillery units

[@joaogomes9405]

@@Le-cp9tr Astragoth buffs bull centaurs because bull centaurs are the temple guard of Hashut and answer directly to the Conclave of sorcerers. Meanwhile, Zhatan the Black buffs artillery and war machines because he's the slave master of Zharr-Naggrund, where the bulk of the dawi-zharr industry lies. Finally, Drazhoath is both a sorcerer-prophet and one of the greatest daemonsmiths in the chaos dwarfs empire, and seeing as only daemonsmiths are capable of building k'daai constructs, he buffs them. All these buffs make sense. I do agree that Drazhoath should also buff infernal guard and infernal ironsworn, since they're the guardians of the Black Fortress and the sorcerer-prophets of the legion of Azgorh respectively. However, seeing as the K'daai are such unique looking units with a lot of cool factor, as opposed to still cool but kinda generic looking dwarfs in black armour, I get why they decided to make Drazhoath focus on K'daai. Ideally he would have buffed all three, but CA doesn't like having fun I guess.
