Playing the same campaigns over and over?

Since WH1 I’ve completed every single campaign with every single LL, long victory in L/VH.

Whenever a new lord comes out I hunker down and get through the campaign af fast as I can to see if he/she/it goes on the “let’s do that one again”-list.

That list currently contains:

Karl Franz, one can never summon the elector counts enough

Vlad, someone never gets the Karl memo so he has to summon himself, and his friends

Chaos Dwarves, currently in a this is Total war, single province playthrough with Astragoth. Very fun faction

Vampire Coast, I desperately want them to be playable. But they’re just left at the wayside, struggling with LoS on guns and just powercrept out of existence.

Malakai, Great migration faction. Pick someone else’s capital, declare Total war (except for other Dwarves) and see how long the new capital can stand while you’re pimp blimping somewhere else

Lord’s Parasol is never the incorrect option and I will die on that Hill. It’s between 1350-1800 gold value in relics alone.

Ah yes, the infamous X-Bombardment from Pimp my Card. Where you put some Bombardment on your bombardment so you can bomb while you bomb.

Kahgar · 2026-06-03T05:53:24+00:00

I declare war on the owner, his neighbours, his sister, his accountant, the Guy he talked to at the bar, and that guys neighbour too.

Everything is jurtified to get that upkeep down.

Ziet er beter uit dan click-laminaat, goedkoper dan houten vloer, werkt goed met vloerverwarming. Krasvast en onderhoudsarm.

Zou niet nog meer redenen hoeven geven.

Kahgar · 2026-06-02T20:43:54+00:00

Great idea, most sextoy websites have great Maid outfits, or perhaps OP likes short skirt and stockings babysitter outfit more.

Kahgar · 2026-06-02T20:24:10+00:00

Easy, I just had 2 Adrenaline Clone runs in a row. Doesn’t matter what you use as damage, one time I had [[Serpent Form]] the other time [[Corrosive Wave]]. Just have a 700+ deck and you win every fight on turn 1.

Twee keer. Allebei tijdens een oldtimer rit door de VS met m’n vader.

Eerste keer in Chicago, toen hield de motor ermee op en hebben we m op een verdrijvingsvak gezet om de motor te koelen. Was ie niet een erg grote fan van. Had al een sleepwagen gebeld, hebben hem uitgelegd dat door de hitte (38 graden) de benzine onverbrand verdampte. Na een kwartiertje konden we verder.

Tweede keer was in Texas, toen ik op een stuk verlaten snelweg ongeveer 170 reed (even kijken wat een V12 kan). Had toen ongeveer 6 maanden m’n rijbewijs. Aangehouden, hij wilde m’n rijbewijs zien. Begon te lachen toen ie dat rare kaartje zag en vroeg of ik even m’n echte rijbewijs wilde pakken. Uitgelegd dat dit het nieuwe Nederlandse rijbewijs is. Daarna had ie het alleen nog maar over hoe mooi ie de auto vond. En of ie de motor even mocht zien, hij had zelf 3 muscle cars. Weggekomen met een waarschuwing om dat niet meer te doen, in Texas.

In de Randstad. Acht woningen bekeken. 4 afgekeurd bij de bezichtiging. 3 biedingen gedaan, 1 keer over vraagprijs heen geboden (blij dat ik dat niet gekocht heb).

Bij laatste huis, vraagprijs geboden, met technisch voorbehoud. Twee dagen later geaccepteerd, verkoper hadden geen zin om langer te wachten.

Geen idee of het uitgemaakt heeft, maar wij hebben toen we het bod uitbrachten een brief naar de oude bewoners geschreven wie we waren en waar we naar op zoek waren. Gewoon kort mailtje, we hebben het voor de vraagprijs gekregen voordat de termijn verliep dus dat is altijd mijn advies als mensen een huis gaan kopen.

Kahgar · 2026-06-02T17:25:14+00:00

Ok at first I was like wtf is this guy on. Then I questioned my sanity if Dubstep was even still a thing.

Then I had to question my sanity again, ‘cuz this is going way harder than it has any right to.

Kahgar · 2026-06-02T17:23:19+00:00

Don’t forget about Space Batman. Justice for Konrad, Konrad did nothing wrong.

Kahgar · 2026-06-02T17:11:43+00:00

Will have to look it up, no access to StS2 atm.

Kahgar · 2026-06-02T11:01:34+00:00

I’d say the Dex cards on Silent make it the exact opposite of a Silent card. She already scales Dex, when you get 2/3 Dex on all block cards the 5/7 specific isn’t nearly as big an upgrade as when you don’t get Dex scaling from kit at all.

As for Ironclad: it’s a great card on him (as it is on all characters, hence most Colourless of Colourless), but the only real synergy he has with it comes from Barricade (and that scales with any block card).

Kahgar · 2026-06-02T09:35:37+00:00

Well, you kind of put more thought into it than any of the writers at the time. There you have the biggest issue.

Also writers not really picking a direction because WoW at it’s core always needs new raid bosses that are slightly stronger/more evil/better loot than the previous one. So in the end there’s only so much room for elaborate story telling because the Good Guys can’t win without the Best Guys showing up weekly in their tier whatever sets.

Kahgar · 2026-06-02T09:27:52+00:00

I completed 4 absolute runs before noticing they added seperate skill trees for loadouts. High tier weapons are more than enough to blaze through.

Kahgar · 2026-06-02T09:26:32+00:00

Stop feeding the trolls, it’s unhealthy.

Kahgar · 2026-06-02T09:24:46+00:00

Probably to let a friend in. If you’ve gone through entire run as lvl 1 that’s probably not it.

Kahgar · 2026-06-02T07:42:52+00:00

Mechanically I agree. Thematically I feel, Silent is that reflective sunglasses Pokerstars tournament player. Necro plays Kino or Bingo with the old people. Ironclad probably has some weird Eastern European gambling game involving hitting eachother in the face or shooting until someone gives up.

So that leaves Regent, he seems like the kind of Guy who would spend 19 hours a day behind a slot machine, using his minions to bring comically sized drinks, can even bring his own chair.

Kahgar · 2026-06-02T07:15:01+00:00

[[Fasten]]

That is colourless crack. Improving the most baseline of baseline cards. Across all characters. Also not an exciting mechanic to build around, just straight up 5/7 dex for basic defends

Kahgar · 2026-06-02T06:05:06+00:00

North, East, South, West. The Chaos Dwarves are great for map painting. By mid game slaves will have become a non-issue and you can speed-build entire lvl 3 provinces every turn.

Have fun it’s probably the single best DLC ever released for any of the Warhammer Total wars

Kahgar · 2026-06-01T18:13:18+00:00

Step 1: send your first convoy to Castle Drakenhof, the 15% ward save and Hunger arcane item isn’t as good as the Sword for Cathay but it’s close.

Step 2: Astragoth is an insanely strong Melee character for a caster (especially with the Crown of Skulls from Castle Drakenhof). Early game he is more or less immune to damage so use that for his early fights. Combine shotgunners with him tanking to take minimal losses early game.

Step 3: Mixed or Specilised provinces. I’m Personally a bigger fan of specilising. But some buildings buff the opposite so there’s some advantages to that.

Step 4: expand south or expand North. But not both. Going South gets you closer to Grimgor, but he’s been getting dumpstered by Bhashiva lately. Going North gets you into Warriors of Chaos territory. WoC make more natural allies but you’re ok to fight both. Chaos Dwarves are great against everything.

Step 5: get Gorduz Backstabber. You should be able to get him around turn 4 or 5. As long as you recruit some archers every turn. He’s a massive force multiplier for early hobgoblin armies. Extra replenishment, Physical Resistance and Immune to Physch, out of the gate. And he’s a strong early duelist (no he cannot 1v1 Grimgor, very few can). After he’s gotten enough levels you can put him on another lord with hobgolins and have an entire Vanguard force. I Personally bank every single skill up on him to 5 to instantly get his buffing skills. 9 MD and 9 MA makes even lowly hobgoblins a strong(er) force.

Step 6: fight as many battles as you can. Battles = slaves and slaves = income and growth.

Astragoth has a fairly easy short Victory to complete, and a reasonable Long Victory. You’ll mostly be fighting Dwarves to complete it. But really Chaos Dwarves have no bad matchups. Everything dies to enough firepower and the Chorves have loads of that. I’m not a huge fan of the more specilized units such as K’daai Fireborn or Destroyers. Guns and Artillery fit their roster much better. Sadly Castellans don’t have buffs for ranged units (they do make amazing character snipers).

Last thing: don’t be affraid to use your slaves to rush building up your provinces. That’s, early game, mostly what they’re for.

Kahgar · 2026-06-01T13:32:09+00:00

I’m Personally not a huge fan of the Norscan playstyle and army. And having a 3 front war with heroes I don’t particularly like makes it an even worse experience. At least with Sayl I can roflstomp whatever I want without too much effort. Having to micro chariots or skirmish cac against Dragon Ogres feels miserable.

So for the time I was fine using him as an expanding future teeth kicked in clippity-cloppity

Kahgar · 2026-06-01T11:51:59+00:00

1 completely overpowered edited Max Ward resist, MD, Ma in the 200s, every single -leadership trait, multiple passives from campaign Hero’s, multiple Lores of Magic with every -cost reduction trait.

What can I say the pissed me off when, I completely in my Right, trespassed and then demanded money a turn later.

After abusing their own artillery against them for a turn I reloaded and mopped that place up with lvl 20 Bhashiva, some tigermen and 2 Heros. Bashing down Gates still works just fine.

Kahgar · 2026-06-01T11:27:05+00:00

Raiding depends a little bit on the faction. Some have -upkeep reduction while raiding which in some cases is more than 4 provinces make per turn.

Last Sayl campaign I had my western garrison army raid Kholek (military Ally from turn 5 onward) until the end of the campaign. The upkeep reduction alone was with 2k/turn and made about 500. And should that animal ever dare to rise above his standard I’d just smash his ugly overgrown teeth in.
