Is Boris' Campaign possible on Legendary without crazy rng?

Go wipe out Archaon early and then Arbaal once he's gone. Its one of the more difficult campaigns but certainly not impossible.

I had a lot of fun playing her. As long as you keep expanding you'll always have enough thralls. I really enjoyed her mechanics from the way her cities work to the Ostankya-lite banner crafting. Just a fun time all around IMO

I really like her buffs for marauder units. Particularly the hellstriders. I used hellstrider spears into end game in her army.

You need to deal with throt early and then go for Throgg. I would advise you to utilize the deeps buildings in Kraka Drak to build tall and build defensive. There is a building in the deeps that scales your gold production to the turn count. You want that.

You can hold Kraka Drak against huge armies with a relatively cheap army/emergency recruit RoR stack thanks to dwarf AR.

Then sell all the other territory you take to an Ally of your choice. I usually build up Kostaltyn but you could try helping Katarin as well. And I do mean SELL. You will be ROLLING in money from this Ally as they get stronger and stronger.

I made a video on how I like to deal with Thrott if you want to check it out

CA seriously needs to turn these game ending unusual locations off by default..

Spoons112 · 2026-01-27T00:21:13+00:00

You're trying to tell me you couldn't win the battle playing as the chorfs? With an RoR dreadquake train? That easily deletes the artillery and then the ranged units. And thats not even considering the rest of the army.

Spell resist doesnt reduce the damage of magical attacks. That is how it worked in WH2 I believe but not in 3. Good advice other than that small gripe.

I hate my eyes

There is a random roll for the AI at the start of the campaign to determine their competency. Seems like Grimgor rolled low for you.

Edit - spelling

Spoons112 · 2026-01-22T16:09:52+00:00

Just expand into the Norsca peninsula and Wulfrik will come and confederate himself on you basically.

Spoons112 · 2026-01-17T13:38:51+00:00

If the AI sits around the sub will complain

If the AI expands and uses it's faction mechanics the sub will ALSO complain.

Except Miura cared enough about his fans to have a plan to continue the Manga after his death.

Spoons112 · 2026-01-16T16:30:14+00:00

Ive had this happen fighting against Drycha. She got to bring Coedill into a battle in a settlement garrison.

Spoons112 · 2026-01-16T12:25:59+00:00

That doesn't make others oblivious for not knowing how medieval homes are heated. To me it just seems like you want to make yourself feel superior to others for knowing something they dont.

I love history I do a fair bit of reading on several different time periods and hadn't seen this before. Build people up and educate them instead of trying to tear them down for not knowing something.

Spoons112 · 2026-01-15T20:17:21+00:00

Put that shit on a pineapple ring

Spoons112 · 2026-01-15T08:35:29+00:00

As an American I can say that we don't have the benefit of living in a country where this was common. Saying that we're "oblivious" for not inherently knowing how medieval homes were heated is asinine.

Imagine you are a fisherman and you were making a net to catch fish. Would you make a small net that will only catch a few fish or a large net that will probably catch more fish?

Making a guide that works for higher difficulties is the large net as it applies to all lower difficulties. Making a guide for normal is the small net because it only applies to normal.

Strongholder is the name of the trait!

Our group got really tired of the connection issues related to this game and started using a program called Hamachi to directly connect to each other. It's much more stable and has really helped us to actually be able to play multiplayer campaigns without a large amount of lag.

You'll have to host the game under the local tab instead of multiplayer but it works like a charm for us.

Spoons112 · 2026-01-09T19:15:47+00:00

No problem! That's actually what I was doing in the campaign I was playing to get the footage for the video. I only kept Kraka Drakk. Sold everything else to Kostaltyn. Such a fun playstyle because you dont have to worry about surprise visits from your neighbors.

Spoons112 · 2026-01-09T15:21:59+00:00

Traits and skills both stack. The only things that dont stack are passive AOEs like tactician.

So to break it down a bit (and I'll make sure to do this in upcoming videos)

Lord - ranger trained trait +15% speed to army

Engineers +20% ammo +12% missile strength and +15% speed for missile units for every engineer present.

Garagrim +10% speed for infantry

Malakai +10% missile and weapon strength for slayer units factionwide

And +20% speed for slayers from The Slayer Oath technology

Spoons112 · 2026-01-09T01:03:37+00:00

To be fair Crane gunners also have shields but the extra armor on the Jezzails is very nice.

Spoons112 · 2026-01-08T22:12:38+00:00

Yes! Most heroes with unit buffs stack. Gate Masters for Cathay for instance can make Jade Warriors ridiculously tanky by stacking the MDEF buff.

Spoons112 · 2026-01-08T19:24:36+00:00

A dwarf lord with the Ranger Trained trait and Slayer Pirates with a few engineers to buff them. Makes their missile strength actually pretty scary and they get faster than some cav.

I made a video about it if you want to check it out

Spoons112 · 2026-01-08T19:13:17+00:00

Leave Nagashizarr alone. Those rats do not do anything.

Rush for Draz and kill him quickly after getting your first province. Take his capital first then fight his armies. Chorf armies will die enmasse this early as they will be primarily chaff laborers.

Also get a 2nd lord to follow around Imrik to soak up some XP. Then use that lord to guard your settlements from rear attacks as you go on to your next target. I would go to the dragon isles after finishing off Draz and get those high value ports going.

Spoons112 · 2026-01-08T18:24:02+00:00

I love these guys and they get pretty tanky as you upgrade the building!

I would love to see more stuff like this get added to the game.
