The armor stat is stupid strong for the auto resolve calculation. This is why slannesh is a terrible faction to play in the late game if you're using any unit that isn't chosen. Any form of tactics (like using demonetts to flank and route units super quick or corner camping as dwarves) has no weight in that calculation, just raw stat numbers.
Yeah, armour is super OP in auto resolve, this is why skaven kind of suck in auto resolve generally throughout most of a campaign. Whereas something like dwarves or a chaos warrior army you can auto resolve pretty much the whole campaign if you wanted to.
Physical resistance is also terribly strong for calculating even the team contains many magic attack. Attacking against savage orcs or ghostly things makes auto-resolving taken many casualties.
This is the best meme, I come back once in a while to re-watch and have a good laugh. This play style makes the Skaven even extra-skavenish, which is an achievement in itself. That lord really synergises with your goal.

I bet your micro skills had to be top notch to, as Legend says, *"Throw trash at the enemy army! Fight them with trash!"* I'm amazed you did so well with the worst infantry unit in the game with no armor piercing! Good think the human factions around you depend so heavily on ranged combat...
Only reason Azhag declared war on you was probably because you made deal with Vlad. Azhag always end up in the war with Vlad, even with his relationship boost with Vampires. Its 40 aversion for 40 boost, but still. Even if you play Azhag, Vlad will very likelly declare war on you soon or later. Its really stupid, but you can get alot of money from his settlements at least. Its weird, because Skavens usually go well with greenskins. Its pretty rare to see Skavens declare war to greenskins faction or vice versa. Anti-player bias sucks.
Auto-resolve heavily penalises units that are injured. You can actually get better auto-resolve by disbanding/merging units if some of them are heavily injured.
The fun part with skavenslaves is that you an do fun things like field 2 full armies with them early. Since they are shit you cant autoresolve but what you can do is properly swamp much, much tougher armies.
Honestly, random placement would make this harder 9/10 times. Kislev is a pretty favorable matchup for the skavenslaves in the early-game. Definitely give it a shot though, sounds really fun.
Man I wanna play Skaven... alas not really having any of the games makes it hard to know what I would need... I *thiiink* I just need the third game and lord packs that have Skaven lords?
“Let’s play a game called can see anything that’s not skavenslave” *Me watching this at 144p on an iPad leeching off a hotspot because of a blackout* I can’t see shit!
I am currently trying a similar campaign because of this. I am doing giant rats only. This is horrible. Needed 3 armies and a small garrison to kill one Kislev army
You could have recruited 1-1 plage priest for buffing, or even if 1-1 from all heroe type it would be still epic, but seeing your choice, it is just a real slanesh fanatic way! 🤣
Pro tip, using gold value in campaign is not the way to determine how a unit has done, since army values vary widely. The only mode that cares about gold value is multiplayer due to limited funds.
Unless wh3 replaced clanrats of menace from below with skavenslaves, you've already failed your criteria in first battle. Oh and I see you summoning ratogres as well. You really should have specified, that summoned units don't count.
Seems like some of these guys are starting the game on Very Hard, then loading a Normal game the way the enemies route and fight for the entertainment value. Just saying.
It would be extremely easy for an experienced player to detect this. I just made sure to apply nearly every available leadership debuff when fighting and chose fights carefully.
Anvil and anvil: you distract them with a shiny anvil before dropping an anvil on their head loony toons style
Is it shiny (in addition to being smelly and sticky) because it's covered in the... Unmentionable contents of skaven bodies?

Can't believe he took no casualties this whole Campaign.
its a skaven campaign. you never take casualties that really matter.
You take casualties in skaven campaign's 😮
Remember: it's not a casualty if it's not a person.

My favorite slave vs missile thing is that one volly is usually worth more than the lives they take. Thus losing balance of power with every shot

Using the worst unit in the game wont make hin walk into a fireline of flametromers, so it was reall well done
Please try grimgor black orc only! The first 20 or so turns are pretty tricky
I am so glad yt recommended your channel. Love your videos, man!
I really want a version of this, but it's either Clan Rat or Plague Monk only.
It'd both be funnier and ever so slightly easier.
This campaign, is the true meaning of the word, Vermintide.
How cute, skaven trying to ghorst.

Wow so inspiring. Throt and his heroic army of skaven slaves
Ps. Isn't this after the change to how factions act. Sure causes less anti player bias
Marauder horsemen throing axes, that could be a cool campaign =D
Ooh, blood thirster only or chaos chosen only would be fun, less difficult later on but starting will be SLOW
Lizardmen Video ideas: only saurus warriors campaign. Only terradon campaign. And one preety hard i think only salamander campaign
might really try this myself with placement rando. Could be really fun!

Rewatch the same videos in a unlimited loop? Hell yeah xD
Skaven gameplay: Many rat, friendly fire, nuclear weapons.
I wanna see a norsca marauder only play through please, I bet that would be challenging and fun, get cav plus infantry and range
Ahhh sobiet era tactics my favorite

Can you beat Warhammer as a pacifist?

Honestly the true is that the only skaven that are not slaves are the lord. Sadly you cannot do a no lord no hero campaign
