Top 10 Campaigns for New Players | Total War Warhammer 3 

don't listen to him. pick Belegar Ironhammer or Skarsnik. trust me bro, these are best campaigns for new players.

imo putting nukes into the hands of those who've never played is a brilliant idea

play Karl Franz 10 times back to back

This video made me think of the very first campaign I ever played in the total war warhammer series. In warhammer my first ever campaign was with Grimgor Iron Hide. Because I never like doing tutorials and prefer to jump in, fuck up horribly, and learn from my experience what not to do, the dwarves ended up kicking my ass the first few campaigns. The first time I was able to acually take Karaza Karak (Forgive me if that's not how its spelled) and watched it turn all Orky is still one of my favorite memories with the total war warhammer trilogy. I still to this day prefer orks to any other faction, but the new dlc thrones of decay and the new units/ mechanics for the empire and dwarves has me screwing around with them a lot too.

"Vampire armies fall apart if their lord gets taken out" That's a really big _if_ there

Was waiting for the Isabella-thirst, not disappointed.

Hated Cathay as a new player and almost quit the game until I got the dlcs and played Tyrion. After that I played snick and oh boy it took me a while to understand what was going on but the complexity of it is also what makes it really fun. Snikch is definitely one of my most favorite campaigns so far!

My first ever campaign was Malekith in Warhammer Two and I think he's a phenomenal first choice in 3. His starting position is incredibly similar to the donut but with a few more enemies in the surrounding area. The layout of his surroundings can also end up teaching you about handling multiple warfronts due to the mommy of Khorne to the north, DJ Khahtep to the south, the White Dwarf to the west, and Alith Anar to the east. The dark elf economy being pretty good helps keep that from being overwhelming for new players though. The dark elf roster is also pretty balanced with solid options for most roles in the game, and on top of that, the Black Arks act as many horde armies, which teaches new players how those work without throwing them into the deep end with a dedicated horde faction. Despite being an evil faction (always good for new players to get a feel for them too) being surrounded by tons of other Dark Elves still allows Malekith to make full use of diplomacy, up to and including confederations. Honestly, I think Malekith might be my recommendation for a first playthrough.

Wish i found this around a week ago. Initially i wanted to try Wurzag or Thorgrim, keeping Tyrion in the back pocket if i was truly out of my league. After the Prologue however i had no idea where to begin other than "Immortal Empires is THE campaign" so i had a friend who has no idea about Warhammer select for me. Began a Normal/Normal difficulty campaign as Heinrich Kemmler of the Vampire Counts. It was... well is... an experience. I realized i lack curtail information when a large goblin on a mobility scooter rolled over all my units in the first two attempts. On the third one i told a trespassing army to get lost only for the French to return and stomp me back into the dirt with cavalry. The fourth attempt is still ongoing but i give it 3 turns until the tree man Orion turns me into fertilizer. Honestly i feel like my main problem is the Prologue does not teach you the difference between Province, Region and so on, so my cities are growing way too slow even if i focus on growth, and since i focus on growth i have only the most basic units. Still love the game, there is much to learn and i guess it is time for the Tyrion campaign next just so i can ease in to the game more, or to try Wurzag as i wanted initially. Thank you for the recommendations (and all the other videos of yours that i came across)

I mostly agree but Tirien ought to be 1 and the rats 10. Skaven are pretty complex and have some big weakness new players won't get. And as he said high elves are just a smooth uncomplicated all rounder for a new player.

You're so right about the Cathay campaigns. It's a minor point, but Zhao's bonuses with Ogres really helps keep that western front secured at first and put some extra, no-harmony beef into your battleline.

As a new player I love these types of videos! I would love to see a legendary lord's tier list from you !

Tamurkhan has easily one of the easiest campaigns in the game, on top of probably one of the easiest factions to play as, tops. I'm also surprised you didn't include Skarbrand or Valkia, or Arkhan the Black, who has himself become so ludicrously easy, especially compared with 2.

My first campaign was Skarbrand and I absolutely loved it his mechanics are great also when you can beat 4 Skaven armies with your main army and not lose a single units it's pretty awesome feeling Skarbrand himself kills lords with 3 hits

Daniel? Really? I find him as one of the hardest campaign, especially in very hard difficulty. Imo, miao ying has an easier campaign than zhao ming. Miao ying may have a more difficult early game, but later her campaign gets so much easier (and boring with no real threat). Zhao ming mid game involve gazzilion invasion from grom and kugath

Ended up playing as the Daemon’s of Chaos. After that fantastic prologue, I wanted to continue Yuri’s story, and I’m glad I did! A pretty fun campaign :) I think for my first Immortal Empires campaign I’ll do a Grand Cathay one. Thanks for this helpful video!

Once you are more versed in the game, Khorne is an insane, insanely fun and intense campaign. Same as Ikkit was the best campaign in w2, Skarbrand is the best in w3, with Ikkit following close behind. But you need to know how to play a bit to properly experience the joy of Khorne.

I would suggest both Be'lakor and Archaon equally, WoC have quite a few mechanics and interactions, but once you understand the basic its just steamrolling and auto-resolve your way to victory.

I think Queek should have gotten the spot for easiest Skaven campaign. -25% upkeep for clanrats and storm vermin. He starts with multiple chieftains. His army has +10% weapon strength when fighting Dwarfs or Greenskins and they're the majority of your early opponents. He only has a deal with a small public order penalty until he takes 8 Peaks, but 8 Peaks is only 2 provinces away from where he starts.

Idk bro I’ll just play Taurox, to lay no upkeep or unit cost then proceed to 5 land battles and two sieges in a single turn

I remember my first, but not fondly. Warhammer 1, Malagor. I didn’t touch beastmen until their rework afterwards.

I think miao ying is harder due to the wall defence mechanic and the rat spawning next to you in the IM mode and the beast people roaming about as well, you'll probably have 5 different things to worry about at once.

He doesn’t get the mechanics that Ikit Claw does, but Queek Headtaker can be a seriously fun campaign because of the huge amount of Legendary Lords around him. Bunker down in Eight Peaks and just embrace the mayhem

Ikit Claw starts off difficult but ends really easy. That's what happens when you have gatling guns, sniper rifles, giant lightning cannons, and literal tactical nukes at your disposal and upgrade in the case of the units.

I remember the first campaign I played was slaanesh. not recommended

When trying the beastmen as a new player i suggest morghur. His campaign is by far the easiest in the early game. Taurox is fine too but maligor and especially khazrak are quite challenging in the early game compared to the others.

Two. Valkya the bloody it's a piece of cake. Her army is on steroids she is a murdering machine and can even use magic. The best is she has to fight the dark elves who are complete pushovers on the beggining. Second the changeling. He just can't lose. Get easy to the good stuff of tzeentch (it will be eternal for Kairos) On general I quite agree with the vid. Very well done congratulations.

To add to this list, i would suggest Gor Rok for the Lizardmen.

my biggest struggle with this game is midgame/lategame when everyones expanded, or ive expanded to much and cant afford enough armies to defend my cities and zones effectively, i cant figure out how to actually win this thing

Trech craventail he's considered the wor.....i mean best skaven

Just a small correction: you dont need TW:Warhammer 2 to get ikit (or any dlc of that game) to play it on immortal empires

So when will colonel become a brigadier

I was not expecting some of these lords to be on this list and #1 really threw me for a loop! XD

Dang 3 likes in 58 seconds, great job, can’t wait to watch this

I’ve never been this early

No drazoath the ashen? 😢

🎉🎉🎉

Cathay really doesn't need the DLC, the added units are kinda "Meh" ....

12:57 not sure but i dont think you need the wh2 and the dlc to play it on wh3. You just need the dlc.

Colonel Yapper

Start with Britonia

Where Archie? :(

No Lizardman?

None of this lords realy matters, just play karl franz and you'll be ok

Nonono NO‼️ NEVER put the Difficulty on Easy It warps your perception of the game I believe Legend made a video about this If you learn how to play on easy you can simply autoresolve everything because but the battles will still be harder So if a auto resolve says "close victory" on easy it is actually nearly impossibly to win it in a real battle, since the auto resolve is so heavily in your favour That's why so many new players don't learn how to play the game and get frustrated because they think that they are simply bad and only use Auto Resolve NEVER on easy!!

lol why play tyrion first?. this last update makes dark elves really strong. and with the long campaign victory condition must defeat all dark elves, its a nightmare.
