I'm new to both Total War and Warhammer games, is this more single or multiplayer oriented ? The campaign any good or is it just for introduction and then people only play custom maps ?

campaigns are ok

most people play single player, followed by co-op or head to head 2 player, then multiplayer battles

Morathi trip report

Malaketh moved too fast and took my east vortex resource
moved south into lizard territory and took their capital and vortex resource
had a scuffle with the empire colony as they moved to my west
took a black ark to helf town and took their north vortex resource, which is dumb, since the south is way better, closer, and easier to build
for some reason skaven and norse really like me
helfs are everywhere attacking everything

I want to talk about elf bullshit units, in a good way



the amount of upgrades these two jack of all trade units get is just insane
I really like that the second half of the blue line is for rank 7+ units but it really starts to make these two things shine

shades are lesser bullshit since they don't seem as good for a higher cost

I am wondering how the chariots hold up since I never get around to building them

They main advantage of Shades is that they get armour-piercing missiles with huge damage. They're more of a straight upgrade to Darkshards as your primary shooters rather than a true multipurpose unit like the Corsairs or Seaboys. The two-hander version seems pretty redundant, though the dual-wielders are decent for sneaking around the sides to massacre the enemy ranged units before shooting the frontline in the back.

I didn't even look at it before but lol the dual weapon and great sword shades have range attacks as well

but having 30 armor and no shield doesn't seem so good compared to 80 armor

how do black arks work?

They are a horde unit that can recruit units and build buildings. Not all Delf units are available but some are, and corsairs come early



The main ark building line and one of the side lines gives ark growth as well as every tier of delf research.

Normal horde mechanics apply, each time you build a new building, the next building costs more population, but unlike other hordes, the upgrades to those buildings do not require population

The ark provides 4 powers to nearby troops to be used as call in spells in battle, 3 of which can be upgrade via buildings and the 4th is only available with a maxed out ark.


There are 5 abilities on the garrison in town since the delf walls also add a call in.

Each ark has a sphere of influence and anything in that may recruit from the ark, benefit from its battle call ins, and get bonus replenishment. The sphere of influence is really large. This is the closest thing delfs get to global recruitment.



To recruit an ark, you have to have a T3 slave building and enough slaves to cast the ritual. These things are kinda rare for you to have so garrisoning it with troops would be good otherwise someone will go snipe it. You can only auto resolve with ark / sea battles. As far as I know, those troops can not help on shore, but I haven't tried.

You can just recruit a lord and have it take the arks garrison, then send him on his merry way. It also has access to hero units.

The troops are just the infantry, artillery, and monster units. So no chariots, heavy high tier infantry, or cav.
