I always thought Boris having a dilemma pop up like Eltharion giving him the choice of staying in the Chaos Wastes with some big bonuses or being moved to Praag would be a great idea

@TheBoxGhost_tm Год назад

Seems like a legitimately good idea for this start, but I wish that his non-Kislev start location wasn't where it is. CA clearly wanted to split up at least one of the Kislev LLs but I don't think Kislev as a faction can really pull that off with their current roster in the early game; they don't have a well-rounded roster until they get to T4 unlike all other races that have non-homeland starts.

@coolbeanzbeef Год назад

@@TheBoxGhost_tm agreed. I tried to stay up in the chaos wastes on vh/h and their lack of armor piercing made facing Archaon's doomstacks such a pain. I actually went down and invaded the darklands and it was a much easier time.

Just changing it so all of Boris's lords have a large reduction in chaos attrition would make this campaign so much better. I lucked out and managed to kill Archaon early and have his and that Tzeentch faction's area under my control but only Boris can move freely. My other 3 armies are either settlement hopping or encamping all the time

@gokublack8342 Год назад

They should have made the immunity to chaos corruption a factionwide ability and not a lord ability

@wh_1_teshad0w24 Год назад

I really appreciated the whole series my one gripe is you can notice a total difference from the first in the series to the latest and that is perfectly fine. The difference being that you go super in depth in the latest ones and I love that! Going over the starting enemies any trick starts, unquie faction mechanics, legendary lord traits, quest items, etc. However the first few in the series completely lack that. It might be tedious to revisit several but I wish that all videos in the series shared this length / in depth ness.

@spliterator1981 Год назад

I've loved these campaign reviews! Pretty bummed that the series is over now. Honestly, these informational/tutorial videos are my favorite on the channel

@arigoshi9770 Год назад

Great reveiw! I find all Kislev factions to be pretty challenging to begin with but Boris is by far the hardest. Any chance you could re-do Grimgor's reveiw? His situation has changed drastically and his campaign is a lot more fun with the chorfs to fight.

@dmitriyk.2890 Год назад

@@awsomeman350 yep, but Boris cannot be everywhere. You normally have to fight on 2-3 fronts and have so many enemies that while you catch one, someone else attack you from another place. If you decide to conquer chaos wastes of course. Plus other kislevites die early unless you rush to help them. And you have no access to Kislev key cities from the start for techs.

@RuneR96 Год назад

My first IM campaign was Boris in co-op with my friend as Ice Court and I stayed up there and it was the most fun campaign I had in WH3

@sicthemutt Год назад

What difficulty were you on?

@zakunick1 Год назад

Same. Except my friend was the High Elves no where near me. Archaeon showed up really early and I just assumed it was game over. I’m not sure if he actually made it to me before quitting.

@TheTyrfish Год назад

I've just recently been playing a Boris campaign, and first hand experienced everything you mentioned here. It occured to me midway through that I should have just emigrated to Kislev, but by then I was too deep in. It took me almost 140 turns to be able to reach Kislev as I got sidetracked going all the way to Cathay.

@Erik_Dz Год назад

Another thing to note about choosing the more challenging path north: because Boris has the same tech tree as the other 2 Kislev factions, you will never get access to 1/2 of your tech tree. Or you could install a mod that removes the very stupid restrictions on the tech tree.

@Cr4t3rus Год назад

Thanks for the series Legend. All the talk of trick starts made me think of what tools I can use to extend my influence and approach situations differently. I'm playing my first Katarin campaign right now and have a pretty consistent 3 turn solution to dealing with the starting enemy thanks to your insight elsewhere, even if the Katarin video itself was from the early days and more sparse as a result. Keep doing what you're doing, it's great.

@Paddythelaad Год назад

The first faction my gf picked in WH3 was Boris, I went Tzarina with her, we got her Praag as her "capital" and took Hellpit early too to extinct clan moulder. From there it was pretty clean expending south/southwest to take the cities around brass keep, then Castle temple & Drakenhoff. Then its peacefull border with Reikland /Gelt & with Blue & Red dwarves, the only southern neighbours to share borders with us. Before northern expansion.

@Joram647 Год назад

One thing I like to do in this campaign is beeline straight to Archeon and take him out before he gets strong as he's such a pain to deal with later on. He's still not easy to take out early, but it makes cleaning out the chaos wastes much easier and gives me more time to save Katarin from her norscan/rat/orc/wood elf/Festus problem she inevitably gets rampaging through the homeland

@oneforlogic Год назад

Recommendation to wrap up this (excellent!) series: Do at least one Tier List! - Tier List of campaigns by fun level - Tier List of campaigns by difficulty level on Legendary - Tier List of campaigns by trickiest trick start Also consider going back and doing some of the super-short 2-minute entries in more detail. I personally think 10 minutes is just a tad much for these, but the later longer ones were a lot more interesting than the 2-minute videos. There's no way I'll ever have the free time to go through 60+ WH3 games, so this was a great way to learn more about how more of the lords work.

Boris' campaign for me is the ultimate survival campaign in the game, and i tend to enjoy it a lot, no matter if I stay in the Chaos wastes, or not. Maybe because I love Kislev, but this campaign is geniuenly fun for me. Boris has a lot of potential, but it takes some time to use that. Until then it's pretty much survival strategy game, a great one because with great challenge comes great reward.

@ncr3702 Год назад

What a great series! First thing I watched practically every day for the last couple months. Would you consoder revisiting Grimgor since his campaign was probably the most significantly impacted ny the introduction of the Chaos Dwarfs?

@ArcaneTricksterRS Год назад

One of the biggest beneficiaries of the new patch is Greasus Goldtooth. Two starting settlements, better distribution of the provinces, Ironguts buff (which I take from his main army), Crushers buff. It's like you are accelerated by 100% early.

Shame to see the series end. Especially since the EARLIER lords reviewed didn`t get some of the same attention as the laters ones...that also kind of included mini-guides and such. Wouldn`t mind seeing this revisited sometimes in the future for highly requested or updated lords/factions...

@killerfugu2659 Год назад

I tried sticking to the choas wastes in my first attmept and was declared war on and had 20 stacks coming from both north and south while i could only afford 1 army of just mostly archers, whereas AI had regiments of renown, mortars etc. Watched this video and tried to follow the advice so went south. Saw Throt already had 4 armies, a 20 stack, 18 stack and 2 lords by themselves sat outside his capital with a 17 garrison so decided against that as it was again just archers until several turns later. Went a little south to get more of the province but Throgg was coming in from north with 2 stacks, another skaven to the south declared war on me instantly with 2 stacks and so did the choas dwarfs and they came in with a full stack. Fells like every single faction wants to declare war on you, also you can't recruit anything higher than a archer until you get settlement level 2 and barracks level 2 by which time the AI have multiple stacks with heavy armour. I feel just having a starting city would help so much.

Boris is super fun to play and I have played him twice in completely different ways. My first time I did what u suggested and b-lined for Prague and then took over that north east and norsca and then confederated everyone. The second time I decided to murder chaos and hold just the starting province and then just razed and sacked all the chaos legendary lords with just a 20 stack on Boris. You will have super negative income but you fight so much I had 80k at turn 40. So as opposed to trying to occupy the chaos wastes I just removed its inhabitants and it was super fun!

@awsomeman350 Год назад

Weird, because Boris has absolutely insane auto resolve. I autoresolved a archaon in a major settlement, with a half stack of CW units next to him. I literally couldn’t beat that fight manually but I only lost a few kossars when I auto resolved it. And that trend continues, I don’t need to fight almost any battle as Boris

@effeee Год назад

@nikitclaw4770 Год назад

I would say that Boris is indeed hardest starts, and migrating to norscans seems like stronger option, the Boris's AR is insane!, especially if you go red line buffs early on. Any chaos armies 1v1 with Boris always lose, and you can wipe out Archaon's army with AR easily, so you get decent trait to progress after. Although Nurglite faction is annoying, kossar stack counters this significantly. So early on you get almost no economy since you need basically 3 stacks to go all directions, but later down the track you can meet and confederate Ropsmenn clan, and if you manage to get Praag tier 5, this is basically win for you because of landmark that gives -2 global recruitment time. With tech that gives additional -1 you get 1 turn recruit globally of every unit besides elemental bear(which is not good imho). Really fun start.

@The_Nei Год назад

Going by the title alone, I'm glad it's not just me. I've been trying to start a Kislev campaign to try Ulrika out and I feel like none of them have good start positions. Boris made me feel like I never played the game before with how horrible it was all working out

@JR-rv8ww Год назад

I think this really only applies to very hard or legendary difficulty. You can auto resolve Archaeon's army on normal with Boris' starting army filled up with Kossars. A half stack holds the Tzeentch faction at bay from the minor Khorne factions former capital. The most annoying part for me was the whack a mole with the Skaven to the east.

@NanoLT Год назад

I found staying in the chaos wastes way easier than going back to kislev. The only difficulty is archaeon, but you fight him anyways in kislev. Piled on by Bak Bak, Thrott, Throgg, Wulfric and the other Norscans just isn't fun on that coast.

@darksendkilla Год назад

MY first ever campaign in IE was boris, I eliminated Archeon on turn 18 and daniel on 33 and stayed in the choas wastes the entire time until turn 40 or so before hellpit was left completely undefended and I took kislev back. I was a kislev main before IE because BEARS and I wanted this start position so badly and could not have been happier when it was announced this way. I think its such a lore friendly and fun start. (Very Hard/Very Hard honest man, and Boris was even killed on turn 8 and I didn't start over because it was a mutual assassination with Archeon dieing in the same battle, also before Boris was given seige attacker in the patch that every LL got it) all that said I found some screenshots where I only had 24 settlements and was str ranking 14 on turn 84

Yeah Archaon is hard to deal in legendary I struggled hard to defeat him in my campaign, getting sandwiched with him and Daniel and the slannesh subfaction. We, Archaon and I, ended by trading our inital starting province, I took his fortress, he took all my starting province. I pushed east after taking him down, because every chaos factions declares war on me. I pushed all the way to vilitch, form alliance with cathay that at that time was almost destroy by Lokhir and also Snicktchh. I found that campaign was hard but I didn't expect that I will go to the Cathay side so it was fun for me at the end.
