All Factions Strength Ranking Tier List 

Just used your link, thanks for the discount and free shipping :D

@LegendofTotalWar Thanks for making this Tierlist, I know you hate to make them, but I really appreciate your're doing it. They're always hyping me up for trying out new campaigns I otherwise would avoid. Thank you! :)

This tierlist does not make too much sense. How can there be more factions in the strong category than in average? I think the wording is off in this thing. I appreciate your work nevertheless.

fuck manscaped manscape deez nutz

Can you make "one-man-doomstack" tierlist? Please.

That would be the total war tierlist tierlist

​@@ash1792nice try Kairos

the final boss would be all units tier list

Let's hope not

No the final boss is ranking all sub factions for the AI 💀

50 mins of it too!

I only played Warhammer 2 for some hours, but i still love tier lists like this.

@@henriklarssen1331same I only played wh2 but for 100s of hours

@@ViralVibes61122 Iam at 73 hours but then i saw how much units all my factions are lacking and how much money i had to pay to unlock everything and i went back to Call of Warhammer in Medieval 2. The new Warhammer isnt bad, its kinda fun with many flaws, but the DLC spam is insane. If i wanne have all DLCs i have to pay 270 bucks, sure not on sale but still insane. And with all the negative reviews i dont think i will give the Game another try.

its honestly trash, its a shame too because its completely destroyed the total war franchise, we havent had a good game since attila, and even that was negatively reveiwed because most of the reviewers (just like legend of total war) are either too lazy or lacking in the mental capacity to play. They just want easy campigns with no thought. Hence why war hammer is so popular@@henriklarssen1331

*SHORT?!*

@@delta4135that’s a grudgin

Chaos SHORT?!

"corn" is overpowered indeed

monkehhhhh?

It really kinda is the smash bros ultimate of TW

Played Total War Warhammer 2 only settra and malekith like a 1 year ago watched a lot of videos but didnt played the game as much as ı watch and ı only played Warhammer 3 a week ago still didnt figure out the game this game is too big to figure out just have fun ı guess ı dont need to be a tryhard because ıts only single player

​@@berserkenjoyer1138Start on Easy/Easy with a vanilla faction. Something like dwarfs. Their units are tough and they have a good economy. Just learn how to play and keep going

It doesnt feel like theres so many fsctions because so many of them don't reallybhave a whole lot to make them unique. A lot kf the lords are just make a specific type of unit cheaper or slightly better in combat. Not enough have major campaign mechanics go make them different.

@@Noobie2k7 I don’t think you understand what your asking for.

I think all empire campiagns are really shit for begginers. I think lizardman/dwarfs/high elfs are more beginner friendly. If you are an rts or totalwar player the empire is fine.

@@happydeathfish2166 Yeah I bought the games (all 3 on sale) and did an Empire Campaign and it was ok I had issues at the start of the campaign with Kazrak(dunno how it's spelled) and Festus but after that my economy/army snowballed and I easily cleared the vampires on normal difficulty but then again I am not new to the Total War Games. Right now I am playing Grimgor and I feel his campaign is overpowered af even on VH difficulty. I feel like Warhammer is a walk in the park compared to Total War Atilla that game is actually hard.

They’re suggested for new players because they are a human faction with a varied and easy to understand roster familiar to historical total war players

Just make more blunderbuss gunners and you'll win against mostly anything. It was the same in tabletop Warhammer fantasy. They are too cheap and expandable for the desteuction they do.

Me too ive played the empire for newbie but had to play again and again. Until I captured the surrounding provinces it seem like i am going to stand up on my own feet then CHAOS come so i quit 😢

yeah. only races that don't have any entries in the Over Powered tier are Empire (best is in Strong) Dwarfs (best is in Strong) Brettonia (best is in Average) Norsca (entire race is in Strong) Dark Elves (best is in Strong) Tomb Kings (best is in Strong) Nurgle (entire race (to be fair only 1 faction) is in Under Powered) Slaanesh (entire race (only 1 faction again) is in Strong) Daemons of Chaos (entire race (only 1 faction) is in Under Powered) and Ogre Kingdoms (best is in Strong) so... only 3 races (2 of which are only 1 faction, both of which are in Under Powered) fail to reach the Strong tier, and only 10/24 races fail to reach Over Powered the Skaven show themselves to be clear winners with all 3 of their DLC factions making it into Over Powered and all 3 of their non-DLC factions getting into Strong I guess Tzeentch has the same ratio but we've not had a bit update for the inevitable Changeling nerf yet (a nerf I personally will be sad to see), nor do they have the same quantity of factions yet.

it's also interesting that nearly all of the OP tier factions are DLC factions.

@@Sarcasmses well a few are FLC... but yeah of the 19 OP tier factions only 2 are base game and only 2 are FLC. everything else is paid DLC

Well its been pretty clear since WH3 released that the Old factions were going to suffer. Reason being is that CA doesnt have the cadence to fix issues with old races before they add DLC. Look at the Lizardmen for example. They are clearly stuck in WH2. @@Sarcasmses

@@Eclipsed_Embers i don't think like Changeling need some nerf. It was intendet as fun and cheesy sandbox faction. For example i just wiped out all the evil factions, and tried to help an Empire to grow large and then watch how it will handle ultimate crisis (not very well honestly)

Great idea! I’d watch the shit out of that

As it should be, hate them

It feels like cheating using the save/load lords.

@@TheBarser Except for Daniel. Loading a Greater Daemon lord isn't cheating for Daniel, it's choosing your faction leader.

the ai doesn't use spells accurately at all, let alone specifics like life magic. Using magic is far more cheating.@@TheBarser

I'd rank her highest. Coeddil and the malevolent branchwraiths shatter morale so easily that manual battles are almost auto resolve

Ability to trade and gift settlements is my favourite addition to WH games. I have played only one campaign so far but that ability was really useful. I played as Kugath and went into Africa to deal with tricky chicken worshippers but moment I started gaining ground Sentinels (TK end game crisis faction) started going straight for me. So instead of fighting on two fronts I just pushed against Kairos and I gifted everything I take to Vampires (who were in war with Sentinels) to slow Sentinels down. For final victory I had to clear sentinels out but Khalida also declared on me and she was one of top factions...so insane numbers of full TK stacks coming for me. My strategy ended up being charging in, taking a few Sentinel towns, selling them to neutral faction and then running into neutral land to heal and then repeating the process until cleared out all Sentinel towns and took black pyramid.

@@drarsen33 In the Drycha playthrough I was mentioning in the initial comment, my favorite part has got to be befriending Malekith. I would take Morathi's settlements, then give them to Malekith. Because I kept making him happy, he eventually started hating Morathi, because he didn't approve of _her_ hostility toward _me._ I watched, turn by turn, as his "disapproves of hostile actions against Morathi's faction" modifier slowly got smaller and smaller, until it turned into "approves of hostile actions against Morathi's faction." Turns out, taking land from someone's ally and giving it to them makes them care less about the fact that you're attacking their ally.

Drycha is op af. I just painted the map with no diplomacy, no elves. No one can stop a treant army !

yeah, i really really liked the idea of danial and played soon as it came out but yeah, it started to get boring really soon

I think he is better and funnier than what people gave him credit for, but yes, his issues makes him far to be enjoyable as it should be.

Same! I just wish he couldn't vassalize order factions. The fact that he can makes it too strong and out of character imo.

@@CJ-wh7ik why out of character? It's like he breaks the nation, and it becomes worshiping chaos

IM THE ONE AND ONLY EVERCHOSEN!!!!

In the lore, he don't vassalize. He unify chaos that are usually fighting each other and it end by winning. Ungrim and Grimgor gave him many problems, but he still won in the end.

The changeling pulling the strings while screaming ‘just as planned.’

I mean Chaos Dwarfs are evil dwarfs...

Yes. The chorfs are the capitalist version of the dwarves. 🤣

I thought the same. Ghost can easily support several armies of Zombies very early and those zombies will grind down anything in their path. The only disadvantage is that you have to fight a lot manually and you have no true allies close.

100% one of the easiest campaigns on the game

Indeed

Yeah the Empire declared war on me they sent a 20 stack to my capital i had a small army with the garrison and i wipe them out,then i could recruit the best units in the vampire roster with the raise dead pool then i got doomstacks filled with crypt horrors grave guards and whatnot and kicked the shit out of everybody around me

The main thing is that easy to play doesn't always mean good for beginners. Dwarfs and Lizardmen are very easy to play, but I don't think they're good for beginners, because they teach weird lessons about how to play the game.

@@aprinnyonbreak1290 Good point.

​@@sim.frischh9781I feel like the High Elves are the best faction to start, they have "normal" units with amazing archers and easy start (atleast Tyrion)

Skaven were always plenty powerful in SP their arty was always annoying as fuck they just became legit OP after a few of the DLC’s

Yes the elves are coming hard on Morathi

Buffed ghouls are insane. They can slsughter even dwarfs in melee

I love the character and i hope he doesn't get nerfed.

Oxyotl has a very hard start tho, surrounded by enemies, similar to arkhan he black.

Skink Boogeyman. What's crazy about oxys campaign is you can really change the outcome of late game order/chaos balance by wiping out LLs and cities in the early game. Really creates a domino effect that helps ordertide start to snowball
