Upgrade Kemmler to Red Duke in 4 Turns 

That's a damn fine strategy, because I struggled with Kemmler a lot, he has loads of enemies to fight early on and making Reikland your friend is nice touch.

Ah, I just played Kemmler and I accidentally made him a vassal which set conferdating him ages back.

I've been playing this campaign recently and this guy won't budge for many deals. No wonder you had to gift him so much for a confederation. Nice tips!

Trade Settlement is probably the biggest gamechanger in WH3 vs WH2

thank you mercy these sorts of guides keep it fun, and good science !!!

gonna try this on my next VC campaign. The Red Duke is so cool, thanks for the guide!

This approach changed my Kemmler experience to the better😅

Awesome Vid Mercy! Really cool strat.

I can't understate how important it is to have a nose guys. Don't sleep on this.

i hope we get RD at some point sad that CA no longer makes FLC LL would have loved to see him and boris in the IE start

Great guide mercy!

Guess I know what my next campaign will be! This is awesome thank you!

I did this myself and got little different result. Louen takes all of my gifted settlements from red duke by turn 4 when i was attacking Marienburg. But that was fine, cos i got Red duke o turn 5 and then I sold he's starting city to Louen and i got him as my vassal. Sold marienburg and fort to reikland and now i have defense alliance with them. Rly good campaing start i would say, thx for the tips :)

Having a nose is the biggest undead flex. Great video!

You make the best guides

Hold on a minute, it took you five turns.

I'm definitely gonna try this out I love red duke

Awesome, going to try this now. Thanks for this.

Haha you had to flex back on the guy who mentioned he got duke in 4 turns on your stream :) Love it.

*and having a nose* - that's hilarious! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

When people play you just to get a minor unique lord.

The gift to Reikland is the true gem of this video... That alone makes your campaign so much easier... Leouncour?? Doesn't like Karl having Marienburg also

Took me to turn 6 as Leon besieged Artois and I had to spank him, but this works really well. Thanks!

If you use Mixu unlocker you can s tart with him. He is also unique in that he can level BOTH unique skill lines at level 10. Bloodline version can only chose one. -40% upkeep for Grave guard, -50 Upkeep for Black knights ect.

Man selling settlements is so busted. I love it.

For the NOSE!

This was my last campaign a little while ago, I sent Kemmler north after getting the duke to take out northern Bretonnia/Greenskins/Marienburg/Reikland/Greenskins in the northern Empire then sent him to take out Belakor and beat Wulfrik into submission as pointless going that way. Took out all Kislev and Moulder and that's as far as I got. Alarielle was my defensive ally from when i destroyed Grom till I finished the game who was quite happy to declare war on everyone with me but didn't do any fighting! The Duke went south and took out southern Brettonia/Grom/Dwarves/Woodelves (with supporting armies). Eventually got to Beastmen and Skaven. I unfortunately had endgame on and it was Settra so had to cross the water to deal with him! Only managed to confederate Vlad and I played much longer than usual, about 70 turns. Manfred refused to confederate even though he was wounded and had 1 region and 1 army left over by Kroq/Khalida and about to be obliterated by Settra. Belegar then declared war and I just lost interest by that many turns! The Duke can pretty much solo a lot of armies though so is much more useful then Kemmler!

Aaaah a man who nose what he's doing

VirginWalk Kemmler vs Chad Stride Red Duke.

Thanks!

Bloood for the blood god!

Trying to figure out how to score Manfred as Kemmler

mmmmm, always liked The Red Duke

I am currently playing a Vampire campaign with a friend and I vassalized Mousillon. They don't do a lot right now so I am probably going to confederate them at this point.

ALTERNATIVE: Download the "Fudging vassals" mod. Vassalize the red duke in exchange for gisoreux. A message will pop up explaining that the faction you vassalized is one you can confederate with and offer to turn the vassalization into a confederation instead. Accept, enjoy your free red duke. And before you type angry at me, if you are willing to use this much cheese, I don´t see why you wouldn´t want to streamline the process with mods.

Nose for the win

The dream is getting red duke with strong trait

Every time I gift Artois to the Duke it gets invaded the very next turn by Bretonnia. Anyone else this happening too?

u da man

Or you could just get the recruit defeated legendary lord mod and save yourself all that trouble.

You could just use mixus unlocker and play as him from the beginning

Lmao i love this idea

Always good to have a nose

does anyone know if this works in sfo? or if you have to tweak it to make it work in sfo?

I don't remember his quest is to find the Red Duke XD

iirc Mousillon kinda staid afloat in ME, but now in IE they die very quickly, dunno why as nothing much changed around them...

About that "trade settlement" thing; It is a mod? Or just a WH3 mechanic? I don't have the 3rd one haha

A nose is very important thing this days :)

Hey, have you tried threating him into a confederation when it's -16? It worked for me once within a Dark Elf campaign, maybe you can save a turn

Is confederation available at +150 for other factions too? I had no idea

Where are Mikeal Jacsen and Ranlack the Black?

Having a nose is important.

T5 i had relations with Duke ~165 and still no confederation possible. What am i missing?

Is it safe to go into Alliances if you want to confederate? Won't it get harder for them to accept confederation if you allied with them?

Honestly guys, just do yourselves a favour and download the 'Recruit Defeated Legendary Lords' mod. Takes away that rush to confederate.

Yeah wtf. Who figures this shit out

Nice. Although would be a lot simpler to just download a mod to let you play as the red duke and skip all this nonsense
