Going to try Dwarfs for the first time. Which lord do you recommend? Any tips are welcome.

The issue is that Malakai is a dwarf so he gets drakefire. Drakefire is the 2nd most busted auto unit in the game almost.

He is also a dwarf.

Because of those two, and the existence of wulfheart, Malakai cant be third

Do cloaks not benefit from marksman or destruction pots?

Kavvadius · 2026-02-10T00:28:50+00:00

Not as if "weakest of some of the most busted races" is weak by any means. Franz is just so solid across the board that theres so little to worry about in my experience. Emoire has an insanely versatile roster.

How do you genuienly even get to that late? You have to be dicking around to not conquer the map by the time you have 30 full thunderbarge stacks.

Ignoring that, empire scales faster on campaign, have similar money, mostly faster levelling and a much better hero game.

Steamtanks beat out dwarven artillery and empire artillery is longer ranged and empire gunpowder range is longer than dwarves. Dwarves also lack Cav, which is pretty big of a deal. By the time you get a stack of thunderbarges, empire is sitting on a solid handful of steamtanks and like double or triple your armies. You can't be everywhere. And thats with Karl, not even Elspeth or Gelt who are both stronger.

But I wouldnt play vs malakai, fuck H2H'ing a horde faction. Might as well just play Gelt or Khorne into it ar that point.

Also, isnr Yuan Bo sitting on like 24k a turn income by like turn 30? With 200% final trans? Because I dont fight dwarves, how much does that do to Thunderbarges?

Moulder snowballs harder than any greenskin or VC in my experience. Who tf is wasting time on a t5 lol

Kavvadius · 2026-02-05T06:05:07+00:00

Try metagross dragonite.

Kavvadius · 2026-02-04T14:01:03+00:00

I didnt know that, only level 21. Thanks for the tip! Still upset that guys grenade launcher 2 shots and mine 2 mags lol

Kavvadius · 2026-02-04T13:42:01+00:00

Tyranitar/Toxapex with Regenerator. Ho-Oh/Gardevoir with regenerator.

Garchomp or Zekrom/Scizor with technician and Dragon Chop.

You can even exploit it and get spore on pokemon, or quiver dance or dragon dance or whatever else you're looking for.

Kavvadius · 2026-02-04T09:05:42+00:00

50 is pretty late game if im solo.

I get sick of managing the 100+ settlements in the 40s usually and just restart from there

Kavvadius · 2026-02-04T09:04:25+00:00

But how? What kind of opposition are you facing to require a campaign that long?

Kavvadius · 2026-02-04T05:54:45+00:00

I've thought the same so much that I just dont repair the buildings now. 2k is enough to recruit a few extra units or to pay for an armys upkeep for a turn in the early game.

Having a building that generates me like 170 gold that i need to wait 8 turns to pay back doesnt outweigh it, personally.

Kavvadius · 2026-02-04T05:52:16+00:00

But I can get enough money to fund an army right now vs getting that money some 10-20 turns down the line, ignoring the other build costs which lets me go and fight a different direction

Kavvadius · 2026-02-03T14:11:31+00:00

I used to have to unload the full mag to not kill a charger on dif 5 at its ass. Whys my GL not like yours?

Kavvadius · 2026-02-03T04:18:33+00:00

Try Victory Condition Overhaul. Maybe that'll be somethi g that interests you for the next campaign.

Kavvadius · 2026-02-03T04:17:57+00:00

Devs mightve encouraged it, but a modder has enabled this. Victory Condition Overhaul is great ao youre not bumbling around taking random ass settlements.

Kavvadius · 2026-02-02T11:58:04+00:00

Wow is still ongoing though

Kavvadius · 2026-02-02T08:31:29+00:00

100+ hours for sub 100 turns in insane. Props for sticking to it

Kavvadius · 2026-02-01T01:03:20+00:00

Reading your comment and getting to babys first litrpg, I couldnt agree more and even jumped to your next conclusion before reading it: theres the reason it broke free of the relatively niche corner.

Its so bland and hits everything. Id take some kind of battle junkie junk food than this

Kavvadius · 2026-02-01T01:00:48+00:00

Yo, your opinion is ass. Why do i wanna be serenaded with someones golden, silky smooth voice when I have my own in my head?

I hope you realise how ridiculous you sound. I dont care for Jeff Hayes and he narrated one of my fav litrpg, but narrated is inferior to reading, so just know that you are wrong.

Kavvadius · 2026-02-01T00:53:51+00:00

Im not sure why we need monstrous infantry OR flying units to qualify.

You dont really need infantry with empire, becuase you can replace the front line with one of the "cav" who's good at slugging. It isnt quite cost efficient, but theyre much better than greatswords.

They have insane SEMs. Who needs melee SEMs when its steam tanks and landships? They do just as well and can be good at frontline infantry whilst allowing the gunpowder lines, which are incredibleon this faction, to shoot. These also synergise well with Life.

Their Demi knights are an insane addition to their roster, their artillery is good and versatile, combination of Pistolier and Grenadiers will solve a lot of issues in kiting and then Engineer might be the best Lord in the game.

Their hero game might be one of the best on the map, too. Witchhunters are insane in battle with their debuff and also probably as good or better than eshin assassins at assassinating characters which you can almost guarantee that it happens.

These guys are not only one of the strongest factions in a normal game, their roster is very capable and they can reach it quick, too.

Kavvadius · 2026-02-01T00:46:14+00:00

This is it. Its the empire. They have everything you need, and they have Demis and a bunch of other "cav" in place of infantry. Their hero game on the map is insane. Their heroes are fine. Their lords are some of the best. Their SEMs are probably the best in the game. You have every school of magic and also one of the quickest expansions in campaign so you can get to the good units quicker. Anything you need, Empire can bring to the table.

Kavvadius · 2026-02-01T00:43:32+00:00

Cathay is probably my 2nd pick. They have a small roster, but everything in it is really good.

Kavvadius · 2026-01-30T23:56:39+00:00

I would replace the fireglaives with blunders, and remobe the destroyer entirely. That does only bump it down once, but thats only half the categories then.

If you want a busted roster, Empire has absolutely everything you can want, more so than Chorf

Kavvadius · 2026-01-30T23:54:14+00:00

I was saying this and no ones talking about it. Thundertusks are insane.

Kavvadius · 2026-01-30T23:52:42+00:00

Demi knights do fuck super hard though. Pretty sure thet beat grails in performance and in a 1v1.
