YES-YES! FINALLY GREATEST-BEST CAMPAIGN HAHAA
Without a doubt the best race
I trust Not a Skaven to give unbiased review yes-yes! Good-best reviewer, no bias! Bestest fair! You trust!
I see no such option in my campaign start screen. The idea of man-sized rats is just preposterous.
Yeah I wouldn't trust us either 😉 More Warpstone 😁
YESS!!!
I am loving these short form videos about what different campaigns offer. I don't really have enough free time to play a lot of campaigns so this is really useful for me
13 tips for scaven noobs.
1. You need food - it gives you campaign bonuses and, more important, ability to put conquered cities to tier 4-5 immediately.
2. You take food from a) battles, b) pastures like in Miragliano, c) under-empire cities
3. Your Engineer from Ritual of Doom creates under-empire city with good building, so spam this ritual immediately after cooldown
4. In under empire try to balance visibility with food and expansion buildings. My favourite is -80 discoverability.
5. Most efficient and easy to use army is a several plague prists on front which spam clanrats, and 15+ units combination weapon teams or artillery. My personal list: 1 Warlock-Engineer, 4 plague priests, 5 catapults, 5 rattling guns, 3 warp jezzails, 2 plague-wind mortars.
6. In midgame you should have 5-tier cities, build t5 order buildings, which gives you +1 level for new lord. Once you can hire 13 level warlords, hire warlord, put 2 points in Ravenous Expancion, then fire. +4 of settlement income would be still in effect. Repeat each turn.
7. For busting research go to Monstrous Abominations tech, it would give you Hell Pit Attendants which increases research rate.
8. Take an eye on another ancilary - Bell Polisher - he increases capacity for precious Plague Priests.
9. Sack-city strategy, when you just repeatetly sack same city multiple turns in a row, useful for gaining food(and xp of lords and heroes).
10. On high battle difficulty AI infantry tries to dodge catapults, but if you play on lower _battle_ difficulty catapults are so OP that I immediately put first conquered city on tier 3, build catapult building and 5 catas into my army.
11. On lords skill tree always increase your ambush chance.
12. Stormvermins have no practical sense, their value-for-money is pathetic. Build them just for fun.
13. Look-watch scaven videos made-crafted by LegendTotalWar. He is the smartest-biggest brain rat, yes-yes!
13 tips? Nice. Grey seer-approved
My personal problem with the skaven was always that, they are presented as this tide of claws and teeth that overwhelm their opponents with sheer number of bodies it can throw in the meatgrinder, and thats what i was hoping to get when i started playing them...
But the best way to play them isnt like that at all? They are masters of artillery, weapons teams and heroes, but all their melee just seems lacking. Was really hoping to just flood my enemy with rats, but instead i got nukes and gattling guns 🤷♀️
Create an advanced army with Ikkit at the lead, then you can create hordes of skaven slaves that you use as fodder. Its quite simple and cheap. Easy to be running around with 2-3 stacks supporting the main army. Not to mention that if you buff your slaves and clanrats in the tech tress they can be a nuisance to any army
Supply lines and 20-unit limit on each army definetely hamper the swarm playstyle greatly.
@@Meander_ I don't like supply lines for that reason. I don't want to be told how to play the game. It's also why I loathe the Bretonnia Peasant Limit. :P
true altho the style you describe (overwhelming enemies in melee with big numbers) I guess kinda fits orcs or maybe even some demon factions to a certain degree, however overwhelming enemies with long range weapons, artillery etc. actually kinda fits the "rat" behaviour of the skaven since its so annoying and "not honorable" so I dont mind the fact that they are rather ranged focused
What I like about skaven is that they are both of the things you said. Make an army of elite artillery and weapons teams, and have 3-4 plague priests in each army. Then you can use the Vermintide spell to summon your expendable hordes, getting you both elite guns and unwashed slave hordes in the same 20 unit army.
These videos are so useful when you're really in the mood to play a certain type of campaign and don't want to take the choice between one you've done before or one you haven't that maybe turns out 20 turns in just isn't fun that way.
I also tried the Orion campaign as hyper aggressive (not my usual style) on your recommendation, and have been really enjoying it.
Playing as Grom I was over the moon to get an alliance with Ikit Claw and get an outpost built.
Goblin horde + skaven artillery = no more wood elves.
I also agree Ikit Claw is not a challenge to play as but definitely one of the most fun if not the most fun.
I usually only play around 50-70 turns in my campaign. But Ikits was by far my most successful in this time in terms of lands conquered. Stretching as far east as Kugath and south as Mannfred. Didn't go north much, probably Drakenhoff was the most North. I had however landed in Lustria to the south west. Definitely all about stomping the ai and world conquest. Even on harder difficulties.
Legend I see what you're doing with this series and I love how strategic it is
Que?
It's so nice that you can get Skavenblight so fast to level 4 (level 5 isn't needed that much, as poison wind mortars come from t4 and 5 has mostly monsters that ikit won't need that much). Just sack Tobaro for some turns and you'll have enough food, then occupy tobaro and abandon skavenblight, then resettle it on level 4.
Plus the added turns you spent before permanently owning a tier 2+ SBlight, so you're spending not upgrading the buildings. The loss in income, and other chap wasted for an extra few turns to get it to tier 5. When by the time most do that, you'd have the place half way to tier 5 population anyway...
Other option that worked well for me was to abandon and upgrade Skavenblight to just tier 3 for Plagueclaws and with about 4 of them in Ikit's army it's easy to grab the entire coastline including Sartosa - and when you have 5 cities (food limit is 125 and it's full) you blow up Skavenblight and bump it to tier 5. It takes rather long to get to tier 5 by normal growth so with that strategy you can have tier 5 around turn 20-25 before food limit techs are researched while stomping everyone around with Plagueclaws. Tier 4 is nice for poison mortars but just upgrading the weapon team building to arsenal takes a lot of time and money; but it's all up to your gameplan and preferences anyway.
For me beastmen always create a bloodground so i cant resettle
how much food is needed ?
You have to be fast. Recruit a lord on turn 1. Sack Tobaro, put Ikit Claw in raid stance for food, maybe recruit some extra skavenslaves with the new lord. Build Ratling Warrens so you can start research. Turn 2, sack again, put both armies in raid stance. Turn 3, sack, raid, abandon Skavenblight. Turn 4 you should be able to capture Tobaro with Ikit Claw and resettle Skavenblight at tier 4 with exactly 0 food left, one turn before Morghur does his ritual.
Ikits is my second favorite campaign after Imrik. Playing whack a mole with the never ending tides of skaven, ogers and greenskins is just a bit more enjoyable and challenging
Don’t forget the undead. Gorst has been a terrible thorn in my side on my Imrik campaign
@@tulkdog So far I had zero issues with them. Might be because I play with some mods.
I really love this new format of vids. Keep them coming!
Also, mummies next?
This is a DLC faction ("The Prophet and the Warlock"), but imho one of the best DLC for TWWH. Skaven without it kinda suck but with it (Mostly due to it allowing for true weapons team armies but the single entities are great, too) become so much fun. They are like "What if Dawi were cowards but fun to play agressively at wild disregard of certain losses as long as overall victory was archived?"
Love your content and your attitude.
Gonna love the smell of warpstone in the morning
Ikit is also my favourite campaign !
Greatest, best inventor! Ikit was the second campaign I played on IE after Archaon, lol.
Hell yeah, brother.
Ikit claw made treaty- pact with legend - warpstone and fame for nukes!!
1.21 Gigawatts!? I love that reference from Back to the future.
NUKE NUKE YEEEEEES!!!!!!!
Ah my favorite lord of all!
For warp and stone, yes-yes.
The only campaign you need to know about
Wowza, that was a quick review!
Always good to hear my man Ikit praised. Crossing fingers to hear about Tehenihuan in WH3
Great review, as always :) I would like to know your opinion on the best Lizardmen campaign next
Kroq-GAR! :D
I hope they never change Ikit. I hope he stays powerful and fun.
Give me those Poison Wind Mortars and Secret Labs, yes, yes!
"Welcome to Northern part of Estalia, gentlemen"
YES-YEEEES!
I never liked playin the skaven ever... but ikkit is the best campaing you can play and it is telling someone that hates skaven 🤣🤣🤣 ikkit is hell of fun
Yes, yes!
Can you do a video where you teach us how the Skaven work in Warhammer 3? Their mechanics seem hard for me to understand but they also seem like so much fun
It is similiar to skaven in warhammer 2. You can check out Legend’s older videos: saving disaster campaign skaven
It's mostly managing the food economy; basically do lots of raiding with small armies and win lots of small fights in the early game to pump up the food economy then settle enemy capitals at Tier IV in the early-mid game. How to rush their tech tree is also important since Skaven have some crucial techs, increasing food cap etc.
Isecond that. Never played skaven and I would like to know how, before I try them.
If you've got a few hours, you can watch Legend's most recent skaven livestream
Or his skaven for dummies video
@@baudsp Will check that. Thanks.
Awesome Legend ! im not sure if im just blind and haven't found it but i cant wait for the immortal empires full faction tier list love your content, hoep your family and yourself is doing well, much love from Sydney brother, God bless
I'm quite a slow learner and certainly a casual player when it comes to any strategy games.
I'm never sure if I'm just meant to turtle with Ikit and just build under-cities everywhere for income & food or if I'm still meant to do some mix of that and expansion.
Their food mechanic is what gets me a lot of the time and I feel like it determines how much I can actually expand and where I can go.
Will have to give Ikit another go as I do find him a blast to play.
You shouldn't really turtle in this game, but instead play "tall" by occupying major settlements at high lvl with food.
you either find a sack city
or continue to expand on minor cities (without spending food) this is to increase your max food
once you have around a total of 120 food. you can abandon and resettle your capital instantly to t5 (t4 also works depends on how fast you want to go)
Tobaro - don't capture it - keep it around and sack it every turn for free food.
Sack Tobaro to level up as quickly as possible, make sure to capture Miragliano as soon as possible, since the city has a food-generating building. I think at maximum upgrade(tier 3), it generates some 15 food or something like that, which is gonna keep you afloat for plenty of settlements and armies. At this point you can take it chill if you want, turtle up a bit, get your economy going. Make sure to occupy settlements at as high a level as possible. Sack them a couple of times until you have enough food, but make sure no one else steal them from under your nose. Get friendly with Aranessa, but don't ally with her. The Border Princes have a settlement that generates food as well, if I recall correctly. By the time you're done with the Border Princes and Clan Angrund, you won't have very far to at least a short campaign victory.
Play Ikit right, and you won't ever have to worry about the food aspect. At worst you'll have to go through the "Oh no, I can't occupy this major settlement at level 4, I'll have to settle for level 3, misery me"-experience.
I would like to see Louen Leoncour Review.
I always do the skavenblight cheese for tier 4 it’s just annoying dealing with morgur lol
My Favourite Clan and Faction to play =)
PAPA NURGLE!
Ikit claw was definitely my favorite
YES-YES FINALLY
How about Oxyotl next?
Ikit Claw best rat!! YES YES
Dito! yes yes
Clan Skryre, greatest clan
My personal favorite campaign...I am actually the same as you Legend: At first I hated Skaven then I loved them.
You should cover Skarsnik. I'd like to hear your opinion on his campaign.
love you legend
It took me awhile to realize that revolts were good for skaven.....more food lol
TL:DR - Thank you Legend, for all the years of excellent entertainment, tips and tricks!
Hi Legend. 3 years ago, I was a Warhammer hater and the very fact that it was all you streamed pissed me off. I used to be in the comments saying "WhY oNlY wH3 iZ zUcKy ZuCkY!!!". After watching one of your High Elves campaigns though, I just felt an urge to try it about a year and a half ago.
I have now clocked 380 hrs in WH2 and 100 hrs in WH3. Weird part is though. Every. Single. Second. of those 480 combined hours, I am playing as High Elves. "Would that not get boring?" - you say. Of course it would, so I resorted to making my own overhauls, tweaking every aspect that had gotten very tedious over the 480 hours. I could now start a new campaign, and make the same amount of progress in one evening, that I could with weeks before. I do not know what has possessed me to torture myself this way. I was only enjoying the first 20 turns of the campaigns either way, so why play till 100? I have no clue.
But getting to the point of this; with this video, you inspired me to try a different race. This time, I wanted to try the race I hated the most, for no particular reason. All the battles I had fought against them I had auto-resolved... Except for one. I decided to just manually fight one battle against Ikit to test how good my army had become. Bad idea. I set my army up in the standard way; checkerboard but with a minimum of spacing due to me thinking I would shred through those rats with my archers. Worst. Fight. Ever. Standing there watching the vermins flood towards me, a green storm appeared above me, and down fell what looked like a plague infected Soul Quench. The horror my army must have felt, when close to half of the army was wiped out, does not even come close to outweighing the joy I felt as I sat there watching my army disintegrate.
Thanks for all the years of excellent entertainment, tips and tricks! You are much appreciated.
Would love to hear about Snikch, Throt, Oxyotl and Mazdamundi! Thanks for doing these.
100/10 tying up a 20 stack reinforcing army with a clanrats just to nuke them all
In my recent experience with the Skaven, I've discovered that they can be extremely powerful, and they have extremely fast unit replenishment.
I love Ikit! Sometimes you just want to have fun, and when you want to have fun you play Ikit.
Yes yes
Nice
Thanks👍
I feel so dirty when I play this campaign. Mazdamundi doesn't need to know.
Honestly the only issue I have with Ikit Claw is that he's so good and so fun to play, that I kind of never want to play any other Skaven factions. Throt the Unclean is probably a runner up because of his unique mutation mechanics. But every time I boot up Warhammer and select Skaven, I select Ikit like 95 percent of the time lol
Skaven is life
Now this is a good-ass campaign.
I love them instantly. They just make sense to me because it's basically just Empire.
All skaven are extremely easy. Take 4-6 Warpfire throwers and you can win every auto-resolve with minimal casualties.
Not really fun when I like the "Vermintide" ideology of endless skaven flooding the battlefield or using plagues to devastate your enemy (like it use to be in Warhammer 2).
Can we get an Alith Anar campaign review soon?
Since you said you need to know how to play skaven, do you have a guide or resource you can link to show that? I could just watch a Livestream I guess, but I prefer more focused information for my guides, if possible.
Tehenhauin next please!
Do you have a video out that go into more depth about how the Skaven play, why it took you so long to get your head around, and how we can do so?
Love these short introductions!
How about the Vampire Coast next?
yes yes :D
Kill-contraptions!
Few things in any total war game are more enjoyable than watching rattling guns and jezzails absolutely MELT an entire army. Oh, and then i drop a nuke on them for good measure. 😎
GOOD-GOOD!
I too thought I would hate Skaven, because their play style didn't seem to fit with my favorite race, the Dwarves. But based on Legend's videos and comments I decided to give the greatest-best master inventor rat a try. I was shocked how enjoyable it was. The funny thing is, Skaven weapons team armies play very closely to the Dwarves' "defend and pummel them with shooty death". Their other mechanics were quite enjoyable, especially the ease of ambushing armies. I admit to many instances of my inner Skaven taking over. 😈
I also tried a couple Brood Horror stacks, which were quite good. I definitely prefer them over Hell Pit Abominations. I did not care for the Gutter Runner stack, it just felt underpowered and easily countered by the AI. It really takes a high degree of micro to pull off successfully.
Thoughts on vampire coast? Haven't seen/heard anyone talking about them since IE came out.
Doom Rockets. The reason why you want to always Auto resolve settlement battles against this piece of shit. Overpowered.
Cover Katrine and dragon lady next.
Belegar !!! Pls !! :D
Skaven were the 2nd faction I played when i got warhammer 2 and I hated them (Played Queek) I later In a Co-Op game played Ikit while my friend played Snitch... I fell in love with Skaven and they were my favourite to play only pushed to 3rd favourite when immortal empires came out Love Skarbrand 2nd favourite! But I adore Valkia The Bloody! By far my favourite.
My main problem with skaven is how much dlcs are needed to get the most of them
I would not recommend purchasing all of them, Prophet and the warlock is enough. Buy shadow and the blade just in case you want to complete weapons team units
Getting the one with Deathmaster Snikch was totally worth it imo. Snikchs campaign is one of the most enjoyable I've played since I've gotten the warhammer total war games
Kroqgar next!
Curb stomp the AI XD
Next let’s please look at Kugath PlaugeFather.
Can you cover the most fun to play Tomb king in the next video? I'm looking to play them in wh3 and don't know which one would be the most fun in the long run
For some reason I've never really given the Skaven a shot. I used to be a Forces of Order weeb, and I suspect there are quite a few of us out there. I recommend to people out there to broaden your horizons and have fun playing more "evil" factions too. Half of the fun of Warhammer is having two dubious factions fight it out
As for my next video vote, to the greatest of the Dragon Princes
Ah yes the Skaven, the most deceptively Op faction in Warhammer.. Morathi next, Khaine demands it!
shame that Estallia get vaporazid by beastmen so quickly
Yes *YEEES!* nyah ha! :D
I think it would be cool if you added how much you expect these campaigns to change over the life of Warhammer 3. Obviously you can't be sure since you're not a dev, but we know someone like Grimgor is going to change drastically whereas most of the Lustria campaigns will likely be pretty static over the life of the game.
Skarsnik maybe next?
Would you mind maybe making an In-Depth Skaven guide one day? I'm totally new to Total war and i really love the skaven but i can't really wrap my head around when and where to place undercities and stuff like that.
You do not play Ikit for challange, you play it for nukes and more dakka. Still waiting for TK.
do some SFO play throughs!!!
Do you guys have some tips for the skaven campaign
I don't understand how to kill a beast men army while all I have is low level ikit and 10 slots of rat-slaves.. I mean the guy recruits 10 units /turn how to deal with that?
What did they do to my boy belegar, not a big fan of his start compared to WH2
thats why ikit has "the biggest brain"
Hey Legend! Great little video. When you say "Once you've learned how to play Skaven", what sorts of things do you mean? I ask as someone who's tried to but have never broken into Skaven. I perform very poorly in their campaigns
Are you planning to rate each factions starting position/LL from easiest to hardest? Like clan mors vs ikit claw vs eshin and so forth
Helman Ghorst!
I love ranged playstyles like cathay/HE/WE, but I just cant seem to learn how to play skaven on campaign AND battle.
Maybe Im just too noob.
You just have to embrace skavendom. Have a 2nd army just of slaves to throw into the meat grinder, while your other army bombards them. Backstab, ambush, etc.
Gun type units are really annoying in wh3. You can make it work if you have a good understanding of line of sight, oooor you can get a mod that ignores friendly fire LOS issues
@@method138 Considering that a concept of "friendly fire" is as alien and unfathomable in Skavendom as "permanent death" for Tomb Kings - this is one of the biggest oversights in TWW design
Someone explain how to understand skaven.
I'm a pretty new player, and ikit claw is my favorite LL. I'm having a really hard time with ratling guns because every time I try to select a target for them to shoot, they rush forward instead of just staying in position to hit them. I have checked the obvious things like ammo, line of sight, guard mode is on, and melee mode is off. Idk how to pick high priority targets with my weapons teams without having them sprint into melee combat.
