Which faction will you choose on your next campaign?
Dark Elves for next one, but gonna WAAAAAAAAGH! it up once the next DLC hit.
OH baby I can't wait for the DLC.. DE actually one of my favorite campaign races, enjoy!
@@totalkrown7829 It's been announced now - The Warden and the Paunch =D
@@AwesomeLionSaurus WAAAAAAAAAAGH time!
Im investing most of my time at this game tryin yo figure a viable strategy to play some type of only-slayers campaing in solo-mode
-The Empire are the only human in the game.
''sad Bretonnia noises''
Hahhahaha oops!
yeah really like the de lyonnesse with the blessings of the lady and chivalry, etc.
Miserable norsca noises
They're French so they don't count.
Half of chaos is putting up their hands.
I just found out about this game and I'm addicted. It's truly a nerds dream. I'm constantly taking time to check out the units I'm fighting cause there's such a huge variety of factions. I can't believe I got this for $20 on steam.
I know Dwarves is the right faction for me, even after 2k hours into total warhammer 1-2. I hate cav, and I don't like to micromanage too much, I love strong infantry lines and good artillary. Unfortunately I am too stubborn to accept it. =|
You accept it since you posted a year+ ago?
“Too stubborn to accept it.”
I’ve got news for you, you’ve already got the blood of a dawi in your veins.
@@maxducks2001 I wonder how we're all gonna feel with the immortal engines dlc in Warhammer 3
Have you tried empire total war lol
@@codyashworth7470 that and Napoleon I even played the mod for the American civil war the good ole days man
If I could make a suggestion, at the end I would have added a quick overview that generalizes what you said about each faction, something easily quotable, something like "Skaven and Vampire Coast for meatshield front lines and very good ranged, Lizardmen for charging things, Dark Elves for glass cannons, etc etc"
Disagree, pay attention. Or use the fucking bar and go to the army you are interested in. Spoon fed sheltered piece of shit.
@@switters8679 damn that escalated real fucken quick
"brief summary.." checks video time.. Oh..
Same. He's gotta be kidding
You guys kidding 1. It’s only a hour if you can spend time on this game to get good at it you can watch this vid
2. There are a lot of factions and he has taken the time to tell you as much as he can without getting to complicated
Lol. Game has like 15 playable factions. Spending around 4 min on each of them is about as brief as it gets if you want to include useful info.
In terms of the content and depth of this game, an hour of explaining IS brief 😂. There’s so much that isn’t touched in this vid, cuz it’s brief
adhd too strong huh
7:07 This T-Rex didn't skip arm day.
Oh... uhhh you noticed :)
great video. I think I will start my campaign with dark elves.
Excellent choice thats my favorite faction! Enjoy
Great video! I would add that Skaven front line is mostly made of single entities especially plague priests with their summon units + menace below. Entire front is just for crowd control purpose and then back line does „Kill-Kill! Yes-yes” and battle is over 😂 in campaign food is broken machnic that helps. You can instantly upgrade conquered city to tier V
I bought recently the Game. And my first campaign was of the Dark Elves with Hellebron. Great video man
This was a great video! Love how you laid out every army to look at while going over them. Would love to see this done again with all the Immortal Empires factions we have now in 2022/2023.
Great video! I came back after a long time to Warhammer 2 and was suddenly so overwhelmed trying to think who should I try (Back then it was Dark Elves too). Thanks to you I know that actually Lizardmen and Vampirates suits my style the best. Gotta go with the Vampire Coast!
Hey Tovlasek thank you! Nicely done on that Vamp Coast is definitely one of the more unique experiences absolutely loved abusing the necroflex + gigantic crab combo.. too fun!
Just got the game I feel ready to run a dwarf campaign. Thanks for the vids !
amazing effort put into your vids man, you deserve alot more views and subs, loving the vids as a warhammer begginer. keep it up bro
new to warhammer in general but been playing these games for about 12hours and I've never taken the time to get to look at all of these amazing units
Haha thats half the fun! the visuals in this game are stunning
New to Warhammer. Thanks for the definitive guide. Pretty sure I'll pick Skaven because of the strong altillery.
Enjoy they have some of the best arty.. also Dwarfs and Empire have some great tools in that department if the Rats aren't your style!
Scourgerunner Chariots are some of the BEST units in the game, AP missile damage that's anti large, super sonic speed, and anti infantry with good charge bonus. They're absolutely the best chariot in the game.
After you brought up Jurassic Park, all I could see was a triceratops tunneling through high elves, corpses on its horns as the Jurassic Park theme song plays in the background...magnificent creatures 🤣🤣
Bahhahahahah yes!!! Gotta love the lizards just for that hahaha
Enjoying your vids! That border kills my eyes though :D
Good video with good detail. Thank you! :)
Awesome! I usually check you for Technical Analysis (sorry... analysises). But it's nice to see you're a fan of my fav game, too! 😁
thanks for this - great video. Played as Empire through a full campaign in TWWH1, then High Elves in 2 (teclis on vortex, then tyrion on mortal empires). Haven't played any since as couldn't decide which faction to go with. Based on this I think I'm going to go with Vampire Counts - I like being in the centre of the old world, and also the lack of ranged should be a perfect contrast in style to High Elves :)
Vampire counts are damn fun, really unique tools and the lack of ranged forced you to be creative... besides they have some of the best cav in the game
@@totalkrown7829 yeah im hoping being forced to micromanage a bit should help me prep for multiplayer also :)
This video was so helpful, love total war but total noob lol. Thank you for taking the time to go into detail for each of these.
Malekith was my first campaign! 10 hours! 150+ turns! Allied all of the Dark Elves (Eventually taking ground after a 30 turn siege) and ended up losing the save right when the Tomb Kings arrived 😆
Now I play Thorgrim, so far I’m in deep doodoo with Grimgor and Azhag, but I WILL TAKE THE BADLANDS!
Did you take the badlands?
Very very useful. Thank you!
Hey Glad to hear that and thank you!
@@totalkrown7829 which faction would you recommend for my first campaign? i like to play the traditional way, coloring the map, but i don't like britain very much
battlepilgrims + a couple leadership upgrades creates an unbreakable fonrtline but you will need to rebuy them often for bretonia
Subbed. Great vid!
Greetings from a Krown's Crypto-cavian! So cool that you're into total war! I haven't played total war since Medieval II, and have been wanting to get back in with the recent Warhammer games. So keep it up, the channel looks great!
BTW, do you think I should skip the first one and go straight to TW Warhammer 2 ?
Hey good to see ya here and thank you haha.. as for going straight to TW2 yeah I would suggest, can always pick up TW1 after if you like it and it'll just expand the experience
Choose your faction:
HIGH ELVES - good all around, best archers in the game and mighty dragons
LIZARDMEN - strong infantry supported by giant monsters, cavalry and ranged are average
DARK ELVES - good all around, they do not excel anywhere
SKAVEN - bad (expendable) infantry meant to just buy time for the best range/artillery units in the game, some cool monsters and war-machines. No cavalry
VAMPIRE COAST - entirely focused on ranged units protected by weak zombies and some cool, durable monsters. No cavalry
TOMB KINGS - top-tier monsters (called constructs) and good ranged units, average infantry and cavalry
EMPIRE - good all around, good cavalry and artillery, average infantry and no monsters
DWARFS - defensive gameplay with top-tier infantry, ranged and artillery. No cavalry and no monsters
GREENSKINS - aggressive gameplay, average everywhere with good damage but poor leadership
VAMPIRE COUNTS - good infantry, cavalry and monsters. Strong, unique magic. No ranged
NORSCA - aggressive gameplay with good infantry and mammoth
BRETONNIA - top-tier cavalry, average elsewhere
WOOD ELVES - very good ranged units, not much else
BEASTMEN - good monstrous infantry, not much else
CHAOS WARRIORS - best infantry in the game, some good monsters. No ranged
Personally I love TOMB KINGS and CHAOS WARRIORS, BYE :)
TK are damn fun online, chaos for when i'm playing heavy metal in the background
You can shorten the Skaven part, at least when you play as Ikit: Meatshields-Sacrifices till warpbomb-nuke is ready. yes-yes
3:30 or so. For the High Elves I always have a mix of Lothern Sea Guard (Shields) and Sisters of Avelorn with support of 2 Eagle Claw Bolt Throwers, 2 Dragon Princes, and 2 Star Dragons. Obviously, late game armies. What I usually do is do the defensive thing what you said and then use my artillery to target enemy archers while my cavalry and dragons target enemy artillery and enemy cavalry. By the time the enemy infantry and archers reach my archer's line of fire they are usually done for. If they survive that onslaught then my lothern sea guard will go into melee and engage the weakened enemy infantry. I also typically have the Sword Masters of Hoeth and Phoenix Guard units as well that will target the higher tiered infantry. I might also have a mage in my party unless my lord is a mage and can use offensive magic.
26:50. I love the Empire. I also do something similar with the Empire as I do with the High Elves. I stay on a hill or something and have my many artillery and mobile units take out key enemies before they can engage my front line. I usually have tons of swordsmen and either spearmen (Shields) or the halberds for anti-large. I then have a mix of various ranged units for closer ranged (crossbows and hand gunners). I love using the Hellstorm Rockets and mortars. Each army will have 1 steam tank. Usually have 2 units of Reiksguard. HEY! (29:28) I love the War Wagons since they are very useful as a skirmisher and the War Wagon with Mortar is awesome as a mobile artillery. I like to use both kinds of war wagons as well as outriders with rockets to basically really damage the enemy before they make it to my artillery line of fire or it can motivate them to move towards me and not turtle up. Only I can turtle up.
What’s strange is that I don’t like playing as the dwarves even though I like turtling up.
Or just have more sisters
For that same cost you can have 2+ armies of only archers and they would win
Excellent video...
The entire video i was sittin here thinkin "shit those vampires look like my go to guys"
*Proceeds to show off the chaos crew* 🤣🤣🤙🤙🤙
the greenskins finally got their much needed update! I think the changes & new units puts them over the top even compared to the Empire now
YES! Indeed and agreed and updated vid will have to be made alongside a fresh campaign!
sup! Just another little streamer from Canary Islands (Spain) in here. Just want to say that I wish you the best, this video its gonna provide with hours of joy in the game.
Be strong in the infernal path of the streamin!
Hey very cool and I wish you well sir
Well done man
Picked this up a couple weeks back after buying a new PC, only just seen the video but great video nonetheless. Personally love the Skaven, Vamp Counts, Wood Elves, have tried getting into dark elves but just never really enjoyed them. But great video!
Hey glad to hear! And indeed some powerful factions there especially after the Wood Elves update last week, those monstrous cav are trucks
@@totalkrown7829 oh no doubt, the stags and Ariel make light work of a lot of units
How did you get the Knights Panther unit? I can't seem to find it :0 Also, great video! Played tww1 but just got tww2, so this guide rlly helps! :)
This game looks crazy
Thank you
Hey no prob!
Just started downloading Warhammer 2 and can't wait to play it! This faction knowledge has already put me way ahead of where I need to be... Great video!
Welcome aboard!
thank you for timestamps bro, youd not believe how many people need them and dont do them
Lizards and Dinos for sure!!
Coming up!
How do you get these Tree Kin with swords? 46:58 in the video? I cant find them in the normal game.
Steel Faith Overhaul mod, if you haven't tried it yet definitely give it a go! I recorded a review on it awhile ago if you want to see some gameplay
I've got hundreds of hours in this game and the last race I've played is my favorite. RATS RULE!
Nothing better than seeing 10 units of rattling guns open fire
that was so cool man good luck 😉
greeting from iran ✌
Just starting out. Planning to make my boy Mannfred into a lord assassin.
Pretty damn good video.. maybe said "pretty damn good" a bit too often but other than that it's pretty damn good 👍
you deserve more subs
I sometimes wonder why you don’t get more like on you videos they are really useful
Im a loyal Dog of Chaos. In traditional and 40k. Tau can chill too.
I played Tyrion in my first play session and absolutely dominated everyone around me. Once I took over the entire island no one dared to fuck with me so I could simply destroy every enemy one by one that I got involved in by my alliances. That was like... 3 days ago until today.... I just started playing this game, but it 's going great and I love it! lol :D (probably should have taken a higher difficulty settings though, because it 's gotten kind of easy at the later stages... I have like 35.000 income, but it 's probably related that I already have experience with these type of genres).
Pretty good in its own right
I still dont know which faction I should pick XD
Great breakdown though
Haha I know that feel.. anytime I go to start a new campaign I sit on the LL screen for 15 mins
@@totalkrown7829 exactly! Im a veteran Total War player but new to Warhammer. Each faction has something that I would like to try or play with. They all seem pretty cool and different but I just dont have the time to play many different campaigns which makes it hard to commit to one.
@@francoisminnaar397 The nation calls. Go Empire
@@enzosw There's one major problem with the Empire though. They serve. Why would you let yourself be bound trying to appease some pitiful elector counts? Settra... Settra does not serve.
@@Insertfunnycomment "I am Karl Franz. They will obey."
The time stamp for Skaven is “13” minutes! lol How appropriate!!
I am a Warhammer fan but I never played Total War games.
If I buy the Basic game without add-ons,can I play Chaos Scenario and pick them in a multiplayer match?
Month late so you probably figured it out by now but the answer is no, you need their DLC in warhammer 1 to play as them, unless by scenario you mean against them, in that case it would be yes, the dlc adds stuff for everyone, and buying it allow to play as that faction
Sounds like you know your shit sir, well done.
BTW do you know when TWWH 1 will go on sale? I really want to play mortal campaign but I don’t want to pay full price for it. How often ist total war sale ? Here is another video idea: differences between mortal campaign and vortex campaign.
Hmm good idea I'll put it on the list.. as for the sale I would imagine next major holiday most likely
Total War games usually go on sale on Steam during major holidays and sometimes when new DLC is released.
@@LordEsel88 Yep true, I do know that Steam itself will have a midsummer sale but I'm not sure if there will be one before
Chose lizard men and then started the ritual not knowing what it was and then got overrun by favtions
Hahah welcome to WH2!
Just play Skaven, snipe enemy lords/hero's with warplocks, then other elite targets
You even play Empire or my fav Napoleon Total war? I loved the Naval in that so much. Prob my fav of all time. I used to watch and was the guy who rode BNB from like 4$ to 20$ a year back . Doubt you remember me as there are lots of viewers but awesome to see you make a Strategy gaming channel as that is ALL I play lol. Stellaris is another good one but got bored of it recently. Might have to actually buy Wahammer 2 now that I am watching this.
Gunpowder is boring.
I'm kinda a paradox. From all the factions I've played my top 2 thus far are Dwarves and Norsca
I still haven't played, chaos, Wood-elves, Vampire coast, Tomb kings, Beastmen or Bretonnians.
I like the dwarves due to high armor, good staying power, good morale, pretty good arty and range, fairly tough infantry, and an excellent economy if your playing Karaz-a-Karak. I enjoy how you can kind of just make a stronghold in the mountains, slowly expanding out and beating back the greentide from the south and the vamps/empire to the north
However, I also really enjoy playing Norsca (Specifically Throgg the Troll King, like his bonus for trolls over Wulfrick's mammoths (fairly late-game unit) and marauders (your meat shield unit) Which I like for it's challenging economy, strong focus on monsters, and being on the offense blitzkrieging thru factions and razing everything that gets in your way. Though they have no arty to speak of, and a poor selection of archers I still love the fact that you have to play smart with your limited range capabilities and support the fairly low armored infantry with monsters throughout in order to make sure that a section of the front line doesn't collapse.
They are two very, very, very distinct playstyles in my opinion, yet out of every faction I've tried, these 2 take the top. I'm curious about trying out the tomb kings and wood elves, but not sure, after watching this video, fairly sure I'd like the tomb kings, but still skeptical about the wood elves, love the massive range, but they seem a bit squishy, is that an accurate assessment, or am I completely wrong and based on me liking Norsca and the dwarves would they be a good faction? (Seems like wood elves do have the long-range of the dwarves coupled by the monsters/dryads/treekin that I like from norsca to me, but figured get some opinions, and heard that wood elves suck up till this last update, since then haven't heard much, kinda wondering wether that means opinions have changed or if everyone's to busy playing wood elves to type up their new opinion on them lol)
I know you stream a lot on Twitch and use it there, but i think you should drop the electric overlay for videos. It dosen't really add anything for me and is just slightly annoying/distracting. That said i liked the video, there are a few things i disagree with (but lets be honest no one will ever totally agree with you on everything when it comes to a big game like Warhammer) that said overall i think you gave a decent explanation of each of the factions.
Hey thanks I appreciate the constructive feedback
Sorry to ask, but is it me or do the monsters look hugeeee in ur total war ? Is there a mod for this in particular ?
I was running SFO mod in this vid :)
@@totalkrown7829 thank u ! 🙏🏻
I love this video.. cannot wait for a wh3 M.E video...hopefully you are at least thinking about it
“Vampire economy is gutter” - if by gutter you mean strong…. Their elite units are strong/expensive but if you don’t over spend on elite stacks (have a balanced army instead) then you can easily have a very strong economy.
Tombking weakness is the amount of armies they can deploy as your armies are very limited in number as for example I deploy 20 dwarf armies but they have 7 at max if I'm correct so they are almost always 60vs20 at worst times on average u cant win that all the time
Broo i knew i heard that voice before. 🤝🤝
The game looks great on your machine, what specs are you running
nice vid but I am really uncomfortable looking at that outline
Yeah was a vid early just trying things out, have since removed!
You kidding me? Liazardmen have some of the best artillery in my opinion. For two reasons. Want to shut down that solar engine? Gotta kill it first, and good luck with that. Not in a good position? no problem, send it into melee.
I think the obvious answer is play only Seraphon because Nakai is a big boi
Or Skaven cause guns and nukes
Or tomb kings cause Egyptians
Or Greenskinz cause you can’t not like Wurzzag the Great Green Prophet
Or Vampire Coast because Luthor is Jack Sparrow turned up to 11
Or Drucchi cause Malekith and Lohkir are bad ass
Or Norsca cause Wulfrik is awesome
Or wood elves because Durthu is tree hitler and I really like that for some reason
Hahhahaha the true dilemma of WH2, sometimes I spend 20+ mins trying to decide at the Legendary Lord selection screen
Norsca got way too much hate. It's VERY very fun. Dude. Just get two of those horse spearmen and watch them get behind the enemy and skewer them as they're already getting killed by your infantry and it's great
34:01 They overwhelm with a... Greentide?
28:28 **smh in norwigean**
How to play wood elf? Don't see them listed in race selection. Are they a DLC ?
Here 8months in the future they’re WH 1 DLC so u have to own that game to play them in Mortal empire
"MOR-TORZ"
I have 100 hours in game and have yet to take a single campaign past the 50-70 turn mark.
I hear ya... constantly switching between unfinished campaigns to experience everything!
The amount of content in this game alone is mindblowing
I mostly play skirmish, havent tried a campaign yet
Infantry of wood elves is surprisingly far better than high elves. They look almost same, but at same situations I found wood elves perform far better. Sure high elves have better large units, have some artillery and can get more troops in campaign. But still, I found wood elves more reliable at least in infantry department, which is my main focus anyway.
How do you get the zombie dragon for vampire counts?
Mount for Vapite lords, there is the terogheist unit which is a single entity "dragon" unit.
what factions think that have good ranged units?
Hey Imutes, best factions for ranged would be wood elves, high elves dwarfs and Skaven for artillery in my opinion
@@totalkrown7829 In your opinion, who are the top 3 artillery? Dwarfs, Skaven and Empire, possibly? But in what order do you think?
Temple guard strongest front line unit in the game?
Hmm strongest would probably be chosen. Temple guard are great but will be outclassed by a few units
@@totalkrown7829 Oh yeah, then why did you say they were? 6:20
Let's see how you get out of this one!
Like cheese? skaven are recruiting skavenslaves yes-yes
Dude was in quarantine a year early
A script would have helped a lot 80% of the time you say „ oh no the faction is really bad at doing x buut xou can use thiese and those units so its not a problem at all“ but other wise rather informative video
Appreciate the feedback, ty!
“From the gecko”
Hey Krown, you should try Mount and Blade Bannerlord. I played TW series and enjoyed it but Mount and Blade is addicted AF. Has a lot of TW elements but ads trading part, Quest and role playing elements. Thank me later :-)
Forget to wish you the best of the best and the happiest of the happiest because why the fuck not :-)
I can work with everything except Bretonia, Rats, Wood elves and Orcs.

@@yesplizz161 nice
Beastmen, the choice for people who hate winning.
Grimgor is da best!
Id play norsca but the copy pasted red bearded guy bothers me. I wish there was a mod to mix up the faces or atleast hair colors or put helmets on them.
I see a lot of mod units, but it's a good video nonetheless.
Yep using SFO however the general advantages/disadvantages and faction summary is based off of the vanilla game.
He doesn't play on hard or very hard battle difficulty 😅😅
Dark elves forever !
Greenskins fast?
Please do a updated version with wh3 . Please
“A brief summary” video is an hour long 😂
Timestamps!
I'm in the #gay4ta faction.
I've heard of this faction... OVERPOWERED for sure. BTW good to see ya here Phil :)
Whenever I see goblins I see Goblin Slayer...
hahaha yes!
Oh no
