There are definitely more but that would take forever to go through.

There is also another way to get jars. Well, it's the same, but with a twist (if it still works in WTW 3). You recruit a hero, spend his skill points and disband him. You take 'Canopic jar hoarder' skill. As you progress, your new heroes will have more skill points from the start and you will be able to get the skill to level 3. This skill generates jars even in if the hero is off the map.
@dark_side_cookies3 ай бұрын
The real jar cheese was using the Lord skill instead. Once you can recruit Lords at rank 5, you could swap in a new Lord every turn with maxed Jar Hoarder. I would do this on an army that was recruiting or something. I need to confirm if this still works in WH3 since the skill may no longer be active if the Lord is off the map; I have read conflicting statements on this.

General rule of thumb for early game, cheap, flying units: you’re almost always better off not recruiting them. Their purpose is to deal with lightly armored ranged units. Basically every faction that has the cheap flying units has other units available early on that perform better.
@youngthinker16 ай бұрын
The early game Tomb King army is suppose to be chaff infantry plus chariots. Especially, since the chariot building provides screaming skull catapults at max level. With Arkhan, you can avoid the chariot or cavalry buildings for vampire units which can do a better job early game, then fall off in comparison to late game cavalry units. That is basically how I end up playing him. As for the Necrotechs, I find them extremely important early game for two of their abilities. First is increase in movement, which with the limited army creation, allows your armies to cover more territory. Second is the decrease in building cost, since the faction's campaign mechanic makes recruitment buildings really expensive. A few lords with the engineering trait, plus a few Necrotechs can make most buildings cheap or free. This is especially important to unlocking the faction traits of having a million gold. (That might be a Khemri only bit, but I thought I got it on the other lords as well.) Outside of that, I don't really run into too much trouble with urn generation. I believe the Bone Giant building provides some urns as well as a boost to lord recruitment rank, which helps even if you don't recruit one. Though I might be biased due to playing SFO over vanilla.

The real way to advance through the Tomb Kings tech tree is as follows: Wisdom technologies only reduce your research speed when completed. That makes it exponentially harder to research the second one after completing the first, because it will no longer take just 15 turns. However, if you research one wisdom until it has one turn remaining, and then abandon it and start researching another, the one you picked first will not lose progress and stay at 1 until you come back to it. Thus, assuming you can survive without new technology or extra armies for a few dozen turns, you can bring every wisdom to within one turn of completion, then complete them all very quickly one after the other. This allows you to complete the tech tree much faster than otherwise possible, at the cost of a slightly rougher early game

Honestly, Ushabti are way better than people give them credit for. Once you claim the great desert of Araby and get it to tier 3 (which you can do with the special Necrotect hero), your ushabti get Perfect Vigor as well as a huge increase to unit cap. It's hard to really grasp how useful this is in literally all situations. They never slow down, never lose combat effectiveness, and most importantly will lose their balance of power MUCH SLOWER than any other unit you field -since stamina is factored into that, just like entity count, etc. It's a positive feedback loop in your favor, and if you get a lord specifically made for buffing ushabti, they will wreak absolute havoc.

Technology wise I find rushing the ancillaries while researching wisdoms one after another to be the best option more armies is better than anything else. The unique Lords are just a waste of jars early on.

Archaeon won't be next, as I very recently did Kholek. There's a good bit of advice for undivided WoC factions which may be helpful kzbin.info/www/bejne/oKrIZ6esl92Lfrssi=iP_D1xFsGpcNPbHt

Ally with Mannfred and steal a necromancer. Invocation of Nehek works on Tomb Kings. Buffs and healing from corpse carts and mortis engine also work. But by the time you can do that, campaign victory is a mere formaility. You can also steal immortal generic lords by having them die by attrition at the same time as all other units in the army. So... Zombie Dragon with Nehek and Danse Macabre on your units cam become a (OP) reality. I'm almost certain this works for Vampire Counts bloodline lords who are all immortal at rank 1.

Arkhan went from being the easiest of the Tomb Kings to play in Warhammer II due to his short simple campaign, his objective to recover the books, which the event battles were hilariously easily unlockable due to the objectives to unlock them were all within a 4 turn movement reach in any direction of the starting location. Then once you did unlock them, you could teleport to them, negating the whole point of having to travel to the 4 corners of the map to attain the books, nope you could just warp to the fight. Only the fights against the Lizard Men, which was the second last battle and the final battle against the at the time meh Warriors of Chaos (as they got nerfed into the floor in WH2) were a *tad* spicy for Nagash, both of which were completely made redundant thanks to how OP his unique Ghoul units were in WH2 and how insanely OP the Casket of Souls was combined with two Light Wizards, that was all you needed to cheese through the very brief and sweet WH2 campaign, not to mention in said campaign you started right at the bottom of the map surrounded by weak Tomb Princes with your two biggest threats being the other Legendary Lords, one of whom is on the other side of the World Edge Mountains with 4 minor factions and a bunch of Rats between yourself and her, while the other is too busy dealing with a Bretonnian expedition and the border prince empire placeholders to be a threat and by the time you do show up to kick his ass as an objective the AI is in a weakened state after butting heads with the locals.. Arkhan in Warhammer 3 however, a completely different ballgame all together. Not only do the units you used to cheese the game in WH2 suck now, but there is a larger range of Tomb King units than there was before now available to you (this is a hint, they want you to take this hint), not only that, but you're no longer starting in a safe strong early game location like you did in Mortal Empires of WH2 and Campaign of WH2 era. Nope, now you're the Tomb King faction in the firing lines of those pesky Bretonnian expeditionary this time around, out the gate. Not only that, but your rival lords are in locations where they're surrounded by either ruins or placeholders, so have time to get strong before they take on their AI rivals, which means you are delayed in dealing with them, which means when you do eventually face them, they will be challenging. Also, now all your vampire and wizard units suck, you have to use your Tomb Kings constructs, oh and you're now forced to actually travel around the map to get the book this time. Good luck.

For the tech tree, i prefer recherching Wisdoms as fast as possible and buy those new character, i feel like having more armies and more heroes is way more important than 15% reload speed on your catapults :D
@Builder23956 ай бұрын
Correct me if im wrong but im my experience the books of nagash locations are the same but their effect of that book changes each playthrough.

You're correct if you're talking about the K8P reference, that slipped by me in editing. I actually address that later in the video.
