How to Win as IKIT CLAW - Immortal Empires - Warhammer III - Legendary Difficulty 

I swear that CA watch my videos and then deliberately change things to mess with my strategies. I'll give Ikit a look. Thanks for the heads up!

@protomous What difficulty level are you on, mate? I've just played through on Legendary and it went exactly like the guide. Morghur attacked on T2 (always does), but he lost and then went for the follow-up next turn, because I was stood there pretending to offer support. Reason why I ask about difficulty is that if you're on a lower difficulty than Legendary, it's likely to buff up Morghur a bit against Estalia, because they're a shared enemy.

@@WarmasterMoloch that might be it then, I typically play on Very Hard/Very Hard Kind of a pain that the game would buff your biggest threat in the region when trying to “help” you lmao

I gave that strategy a few test runs while researching the video, including basically following Morghur's army after they inevitably win and hitting units with warp lightning. It did some solid damage, but the biggest issue was that the AI does not tend to group them up all that much, so there weren't as many wipe outs as I would like. Also it obviously did nothing to Morghur himself, or his hero. With regard to how I handle faster/less squishy opponents, you can see a bit of that in my Lord Skrolk guide. I may do a video about my optimal Skaven stack at some point, as it's probably the reason why I don't struggle with any Skaven campaigns (I use the same units with every Clan, because I'm boring like that!).

Thanks mate, really glad you found it helpful. :)

Thank you mate! I'm really glad you found it helpful.

Thanks mate! Glad you're enjoying the videos. :)

Thanks! I haven't played a huge amount of Tamurkhan thus far, but he's definitely on my list for a guide. From recollection I was wiping out Kholek pretty early. I'll take a look to see how the patches have changed the campaign.

forgot to mention, the fact that you explain each mood helps so much. As a new player trying to figure out how to play the game/what to do, lots of these youtube guides are very hard to follow along with as i have no idea why they did what they did!

Thank you! I'm really glad you're enjoying the video and finding it helpful. :) Mid-game guides are a little bit tricky, as the longer you go in each campaign, the more things become random. However, it's definitely something I'm looking into. Certainly I'm looking at a potential 'Optimal Skaven army build' video. Watch this space!

A wild industrial noise-pop band. I'd listen to it!

Hope you enjoy it, mate!

Nothing to apologise for! I'm glad you're enjoying it.

@WarmasterMoloch There was some slight variation from the video for me. Every time I had to attack one of the settlements, I had to fight either a full stack or half stack. Which was a fun challenge. Thanks again for the guide, I appreciate this strategy over Skavenblight cheese.

@@truekinggreed8051 My pleasure, mate. And yes, I too absolutely hate that Skavenblight cheese. The idea of abandoning my capital offends me on every level! Which difficulty level are you playing on? I ask because sometimes the other difficulties throw up different challenges (for example, the trick of letting the Beastmen walk onto a suckerpunch at Magritta usually doesn't work below Legendary).

@WarmasterMoloch I just transitioned to VH on both settings. I had to fight a full stack at Magritta with the garrison, but I secured a Close Victory.

Great work!

What difficulty settings are you playing on, mate?

@@WarmasterMoloch legendary very hard

@@WarmasterMolochi tried again, actually worked now, morghur lost, absolutely no idea why

If you're new to the game I would recommend heading east rather than west. Wait until you have a better army before going after the Beastmen.

Thanks for watching it, my friend. Really hope it helps with your campaign. :)

It definitely will. The beastmen are my biggest issue early on.

@@truekinggreed8051 Thanks mate. Good to have you aboard!

If you want undercities I recommend using the rite-summoned engineers instead and creating one or two spreader buildings adjacent to good locations. Honestly though, I very often forget to even bother with undercities, as I fund my armies and growth through constant battle, sacking and conquest. Basically I put together very expensive armies (weapons teams, artillery and heroes) and go around mauling any armies that I can find for money and food. I also always sack cities, then loot-and-occupy them. This maximises money. Between that and using the instant city levelling, I actually find that the main reason why I sometimes feel poor is because I have so many things that I can build. A few conquered territories later and I'm feeling flush again. So essentially I recommend putting together a couple of powerful armies and then picking a lot of fights. Make the enemy pay for your buildings!

So what's happening is that the game is changing its patterns due to the lowered difficulty. Because you start at war with Estalia, the AI is 'helping' you by having the Beastmen take out that enemy. However, that actually winds up leaving you with a tougher enemy in the form of the Beastmen. My recommendation is to either take Tobaro at Tier 2, build the Weapons Dump and recruit a bunch of Warpfire Throwers with which to take on the Beastmen, or try attacking the east first instead and then returning to Estalia when you're a little better equipped for taking on the goatboys.

@@WarmasterMoloch Got it, thank you so much for helping

How soon are you having this rebellion mate?

@@WarmasterMoloch After I recruit plague catapults at turn 8, I don't get them then because Margritta is besieged

So for that I would recommend recruiting an extra lord to help support inside Magritta and if you have the chance, maybe recruit some extra Skavenslave slingers to help support (if the garrison has replenished enough to be viable). Then during the siege I would defend from the secondary point master point (as opposed to the final one) and save up enough supplies to get the strongest tower. However, if you're still not confident enough, forced march Ikit and his army over there.

The unit sizes haven't changed, mate. Go to your graphics settings (before the campaign starts) and look at Unit Scale. I'm always on the largest. With regard to them sticking on the wall, something I did a lot in practice (but didn't need to in the final run) was putting Ikit up on the walls. That leads to the AI clumping units around you, so you can cast Brass Orb and Warp Lightning onto that and do huge multi-unit damage. That added bump should give you enough to thin out the mass. If you can't get the guns inside, once you've broken down the gate, use Ikit to lure enemies outside, while the guns stand outside the gate. Balequint can keep the towers occupied if they're active.

@@WarmasterMoloch ok I see now thank you, luckily when I reloaded it the beast men ended up winning against magritta leaving it nice and open for me

By far!

Yeah, it blew my mind when I saw people complaining about the campaign. I've actually continued on with this campaign and I have curb-stomped Pirates of Sartosa, Broken Axe, Carcassonne and all of Athel Loren in 60 turns on Legendary (Clan Angrund have two minor settlements left, so they're doomed and I'm now beating the crap out of Louen Leoncoeur too).

Warp fuel is random, so you're just getting very unlucky from the sound of it.

Yea that makes sense thank you for responding

My pleasure, mate. Hope you get some luck with the warp fuel soon!

I find them very easy too.

@@WarmasterMoloch ​ a request for the new patch!!! How to win as Boris Ursus in the Chaos wastes (no migration)

@@AlexKoueik Hmm, that could be a fun challenge. I actually haven't played with Boris yet, so I'll take a look at that.

I lost my all whole army to the beastmen, they come at me with a full stack and i only have 2 ratling gunners by then, i get shit on, skavenslaves start going in all kinds of directions because of shit leadership, and then beastmen come from all kinds of directions because of that

​@@maxverstacrayon8367I have a lot of problems with open battles in the begining. If you are not shooting everyone through walls abusing dumb siege AI no matter how I set up my army full stack vs full stack I always get my shit wrecked. All rats run after getting spit on, slingers do little to no dmg on army running at you and no matter how I place them rattling gunners refuse to shoot. Last time I tried Ikit I was doing siege strat, killed around 90% garrison and general and they refused to surrender, towers shooting at me routed my army like wtf I really suck at playing rats😅

Hey mate, thanks for the feedback. I'm taking a look into my recording software, because there appears to be some kind of issue there. To put it in perspective, this is what my game looks like when I'm playing, before OBS or something makes it grey as hell: i.imgur.com/9PfAiTO.jpeg

FYI, should be fixed as of the Boris Ursus guide.
