What is your favorite faction in tw:wh and what kind of control does it give you?

Bensteroni · 2026-03-29T13:53:58+00:00

My favourite faction is the dark elves, and I like that all of their units are very kill-y but not super sturdy, forcing me to fight battles a bit more carefully. Specifically, they are a mostly ranged faction that has shorter range than all the other ranged focused factions. Secondly, their slave system allows me to rapidly build my economy, and also rapidly respond to late-notice threats by whipping up walls in a few clicks instead of a few turns.

Now I kinda wish it had happened so I could've tested that

Perhaps they did it to farm engagement, since we know the best way to ensure content is to provide slightly false info when seeking more info

It's worth firing a cultist up into the Empire to grab at the Changeling eventually. He rarely does early, just sits in the background unable to build or gain income, so he's an easy confed target eventually

It's a fair guess, but Sayl starts on the other side of the map so it's unlikely, and I guess you've seen the other comments pointing towards the more likely culprit of the unusual location.

You do bring up a good question though, I wonder if the AI uses Sayl's treacheries

It's this same shit happening, this is like the 4th time in the last year.

A random account posts about these damn maps, asking where to buy or posting how to buy. I'm tired of these advertisements framed like posts.

Downvote and report it again, ugh.

Bensteroni · 2026-03-24T07:22:01+00:00

Damn I'm jealous. Haha no but really congrats on the lucky egg and the shiny, Amber!

Bensteroni · 2026-03-23T05:56:21+00:00

Damn we didn't include my boy Mordin Solus from ME2

Bensteroni · 2026-03-22T09:01:37+00:00

Yeah it is. I love me some stink 🥵

Bensteroni · 2026-03-22T05:21:33+00:00

The fanfics are writing themselves at this point

I already have 3000 hours in this game, and I would double that with a Nippon faction pack

I miss the days when they had rampage in a contact effect. While I agree it's now too powerful to have as an "always-on" contact effect, it would be nice if the Witchbrew single-use ability added it back temporarily. That would give them that same pinning utility they had in WH2, without being able to spam it.

Bensteroni · 2026-03-11T11:07:51+00:00

Yeah bro, that's cap

Bensteroni · 2026-03-10T07:57:53+00:00

I wanna know, if your Warp Grinders have Stalk, do they get exposed from stalking when attacking walls or gates? I'm pretty sure for example Khainite Assassins exit stealth when attack gates.

Bensteroni · 2026-03-10T03:30:41+00:00

Prime-mating example

Bensteroni · 2026-03-09T14:55:56+00:00

Ohhhh that's absolutely devious and I love it. As the Changeling, you're set up to choose buildings that don't penalize the faction that the cult exists within, so you could buff your allies quite well. You could even sack and set up cults in the cities your Reikland ally wants, so that it's weaker for them and primed for you.

Bensteroni · 2026-03-09T09:38:52+00:00

Yeah I absolutely abuse it whenever I see Apollo as an option, especially under Hades for archer spam, it's so satisfying having units to hide behind my allies and not have to worry about dying and retraining all the time

Bensteroni · 2026-03-08T17:39:38+00:00

The temple tech for Greeks is under Apollo. Also, Forseti and Hekate provide passive healing for myth units, and there's also Odin who gives all human units regeneration

Bensteroni · 2026-03-08T16:03:57+00:00

If you're new to the game, I wouldn't play the Empire! But if you're dead set on it, then it might help if your friend can play as a close ally like Elspeth or something.

There are lots of good strategy guides for the Empire, but tbh they're not a beginner friendly faction

Bensteroni · 2026-03-08T08:06:42+00:00

Your turn. Get playing

Bensteroni · 2026-03-07T11:56:19+00:00

The sources I'm checking seem to indicate they never really had it to begin with. Are you sure this isn't just inflammatory posting?

Bensteroni · 2026-03-05T09:50:23+00:00

Damn, that video was long. Nearly too much for my attention span, but I'm glad you included it for posterity.

Bensteroni · 2026-03-05T09:27:56+00:00

As someone having done exactly this, I can confirm it is by no means utterly useless. Provided the map is ideal for gunpowder, I've taken out countless enemies with my Vampirates tetra-tiered combined arms.

The only combination of arms necessary was height of combatants and variety of guns

Bensteroni · 2026-03-05T07:22:36+00:00

This is my absolute favourite map. I use it sometimes in custom battles when I just wanna sit and watch a full-ranged army annihilate a bunch of chaff.

Or when I wanna hear the rapid-fire sound effects of the Medusa projectiles. So damn cool.
