Which FOREST to take first? - Wood Elves Rework Guide Warhammer 2

It will be interesting to see how the AI uses it against us too.

[@drazarkabalblade9486]

Unless you start directly in another zone, there is little to no reason to go to get other woods: you barely can hold your starting zone with what little you have. Also, the problem was never "waiting" for the lategame empires, the problem was the lategame empires ( and really, even just middle game empire ) coming at you EN-MASSE. The AI focuses you like crazy, and Wood Elves always had to turtle to survive the never-ending onslaught of Empire-Dawi-Bretonnia if you didn't stomped one of them fast. And as of now, WE have just being nerfed to the ground on beastmen levels.

@@Nicke0528 Sometimes they randomly go ultra expansionist on some campaigns, like in my latest Chaos campaign, they had outposts in the empire, in the starting Karaz-a-Karak province, in the Border Princes territory...

You can also ally with factions which hold the heathlands to gain the healing benefit. Dont need to control them yourself according to other vids.

[@DoddyIshamel]

Or raze them, no need to hold them

[@FireTalon24]

But razing is pointless since undoubtedly an AI faction will just scoop it up.

[@fendelphi]

@@FireTalon24 Razing will give you a boost in income(not as much as before, but about twice as much as if you occupy and about 30% better compared to sacking), as well as an instant burst of healing to the forest in the area, but no healing over time like you do when you occupy. As such it can be a good option if you dont think you can hold onto the area. But as Siven said, if you dont want to make an enemy of everyone, you can ally with factions that hold the Heathlands and get the same healing effect as if you occupied it yourself.

[@khosrowzare8301]

@@FireTalon24 Not entirely pointless. If you have two factions around the forest, one strong and one week, attack the weak one and raze their settelment so the strong one can take it; then alley with the strong one. That will save you the trouble of defending the settelments since they can make walls and you can't (for example, destroy palavon and have the fey enchantress take their settlement).

[@Darkprosper]

@@fendelphi There IS the same healing over time when razing as when occupying, the burst of healing is a bonus. It's just easier to maintain the settlement occupied than razed.

The community is kinda whack on Reddit. The DLC and the WE rework got introduced: Oh god this is so great, they are finally the defensive faction we wanted, the Amber economy is gone, we can have more varied rosters, and we finally got a unique mechanic! LegendofTotalWar makes a video on it: This is shit, they nerfed the WE because the cheese tactics required for Legendary difficulty no longer work, and painting half the world with their outposts no longer gives you insane damage boosts and economy, they are ruined, worse than the beastmen! Sometimes I wonder if the people playing on Legendary difficulty are a different species from the rest of us...

[@Orosian5]

If LegendofTotalWar doesn't like it, then I would suspect that it's probably good for the game.

[@James-yl2xx]

Legend did say the woodelves are now more fun to play and more lore friendly, just less powerful overall (but given they have a different win condition, does that matter?)

[@BlingLingification]

Legend didn't outright say the WE DLC and WE update are shit. He actually said: This is going to be a culture shock for people who play on very hard or legendary difficulty due to public order changes and upkeep, because the WE don't make as much money anymore and they can't obtain cumulative global buffs to their army. In other words, the new update makes Legendary and VH WE campaigns harder, and Legend was just giving a heads up about it. I think he actually likes the thematic changes, especially since the focus is on a shorter campaign rather than a slog against a late-game blob.

@@onatyungul872 If he was just crying about his cheese tactics getting patched out, then why would he say in his video (not livestream) that he doesn't mind, he just has to be more creative?

[@angemalaurie6074]

I realy fell like they are testing new mechanics for the beastmen. Maybe Beastmen will have a similar thing's with heard stone replacing forests. You would have to capture people to sacrifice back the the heardstone. Different people might be controling the stone (like empire for exemple). Also beastmen could have a echanic similar to the under empire but as if their hidden colonies where more like hidden camp in the region, giving movement bonus, sacking bonus (without razing), raiding bonus depending on the building you build. That goes well with a horde as you can travel the world without worying too much about you hidden settlement

[@xLs58x]

9:12 looking at the dryads, you can now upgrade your units, or some of them, like the orcs

[@CrowMercury]

You kinda forgot to say it well, but a heartland is considered pacified also if it's in ruins or controlled by a military ally, while it actually damages Forest Health if it's controlled by an enemy faction. Since outposts have been nerfed, it could be a strategy to ally with some factions and have it control the surrounding lands as you only care about the forest territory.

One cool part of this mechanic is that it looks like you can actually grow the forest without having to own all the settlements around it, as long as you aren't currently at war. So if you want you could play diplomatically and ally with the surrounding regions, or go full Wild Hunt and create buffer zones. It really seems like they accommodate different playstyles well, which of course was the biggest flaw of the earlier WE campaign.

I just jumped to Laurelorn Forest and did the scriptet invader mission against the Norsca, it counts as a won battle against them and you get the settlement.

[@JamestheKilljoy]

I LOVE this campaign. Diplomacy matters more, you use more of the map, meaning you fight a large variety of enemies, and there are multiple builds and strategies. Btw you definitely need to take multiple trees, the main tree's health caps at 100 intervals and you must perform rituals to lift the cap. Problem is you can only perform 1 ritual per tree. I dont remember exactly, but i think you need to do 3 or 4 rituals to unlock the final one at the main tree.

Is the 10 turn cool down per Army or per Factions? When your send an army is it always all alone or can you send two armies?

[@Segwo]

9:35 he did say he could bring in a second army, but didn’t elaborate

[@sebk7168]

it's per faction, you wouldn't have the cooldown above the end turn button otherwise but next to your armies. And it would also be OP ...

[@fendelphi]

@Berserking Bishop I think you underestimate the ability to be able to instantly mass multiple armies from 1 end of the map to the other. Having it be faction wide cooldown makes sense, or the campaign would be way too easy. That being said, you can gain various research and effects that reduces the cooldown. So it definately becomes stronger as you progress your campaign.

[@fendelphi]

@Berserking Bishop What you are missing out is that you are now comparing individual armies(and not the faction as a whole) with campaign abilities. And several of those you mention are not available at turn 1 or have their own cooldown and restrictions. Wood Elves armies can also crush enemies with ease due to insane ranged damage and near unkillable frontline. And now you can get both very easily(before you had to pay an Amber toll). Being able to teleport armies across the world to strike or defend at your leisure is very powerful(just imagine a head-to-head scenario against another player), as it allows you to either strike weak/exposed enemies or interrupt strong ones. Empire or Dawi needs assistance to handle the Greenskins/Vampires? Puff, and you have a powerful army that can start to wreck the place. If you dont know how to handle Greenskin armies(lightning strike), then that is on you. Due to the Teleport, the new Wood Elves will be ideal to counter any force that starts to grow too big, as well as easily gaining the favour of potential allies, by almost always being within reach of their enemies. If the Greenskins start to steamroll, you can easily divert a few armies to their territory and cull them to a more managable size. Once done, you can move those armies to a different part of the map in just a few turns and do the same there. And that is just the surface level of potential. Said in another way, they now have the means to be an anti-snowball faction, cutting down enemy factions that grow too big, or can assist allies in snowballing faster. And they can do so at an unprecedented scale.

[@fendelphi]

@Berserking Bishop Yes, which is why I dont get why you use that as an argument.

[@16thdemon]

When I play as the Sisters of Twilight, I always take Gaean Vale first. Averlorn faction is relatively weak during early game and you can easily take their entire province, including the tree and the fortress gate, which will all contribute to the forest growth. When maxed, the Gaean Vale tree gives you Chaos attrition immunity so you can go north and farm/bully the Norsca for easy experience.

[@Insedum]

By declaring war on Alarielle, are you not being attacked by Tyrion?

[@16thdemon]

Nope. If I notice the drop in diplomatic relations with him, I simply declare war on one of his enemies. Usually those minor DE on Ulthuan.

[@frederikaltmann9051]

So, while I like the changes, if woodeveles AI can just teleport all across the map at all times, it is going to be super annoying for you to defend your settlements, right? Especially if there is no movement stop after using the worldroot system and they can attack during the same turn.

Do I unsterstand it correctly that you have a forest ('province') & another 'province' somewhere else on the map? So basically, instead of having one land, your land is divided into multiple pieces that are all surrounded by AI? Doesn't this make it a lot harder to defend your empire?

[@lewishorsman2219]

Much better. Fits the usual AI you see where WE go full crusade on the world. Instead of being a defensive faction you have reason to go ham on everyone.

Grean Vale does look pretty awkward to take, as you'd be declaring war on whichever High Elf faction owns it and pissing off at least half of Ulthwan. But, the sacred pools actually looks like the worst to take. You're 360 surrounded by Lizardmen who aren't a pushover faction, though I do feel Wood Elves have good matchups for their lack of speed and range. The trouble is two of the Heath-land settlements are literally faction capitals for two Lizardmen LL's; and trying to Military ally with either will be hard as LZM are particularly finicky with diplomacy. Also, is there any new explanation as to how there is a Lizardmen faction fighting the border princes in the early-mid game in the footage shown? That's super random.

[@JimRFF]

Probably a dumb question, but If I buy this dlc without the wood elves dlc am I just screwed?

[@therasco400]

No you just do not get durthu or orion instead you get the new legendary lord.

I wonder in total war 3 if they introduce new forests?

[@clockmonkey]

Can't see me playing a Campaign partly down to not enjoying playing Elves and partly the Campaign mechanics learning curve.

[@TheDethBringer666]

I don't even care so much about the faction stuff, I just wanna see mods use that teleport mechanic for other factions.

[@owb1979]

Do you need the original WE DLC to play this?

[@Darkprosper]

I believe that you need only the original WE DLC to play Orion and Durthu (with the new mechanics), only the new DLC to play the sisters LL, and both to play a special LL added with the DLC (should be Drycha and/or Coeddil). Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
