While the factions explored above were all powerful in the previous iteration of Immortal Empires, Nakai the Wanderer has perhaps received some of the largest changes to his campaign. Unless something drastic happens in the surrounding area, Ikit Claw will still remain one the best campaign experiences for both newer and experienced players. His Forbidden Workshop allows the strengthening of certain units and will lead you down a dark path in your endless search for Warp Fuel. Mounting Ikit upon a Doomwheel or Doomwheel enables him to control the battlefield, raining death all around with extremely low cooldown Warp Lightnings.Įven with all the new shiny factions entering the map, there is still no greater enjoyment than dropping a nuke onto your enemies, and Ikit does possess the most potent of weapons. They can use the Underway to teleport over harsh terrain, and the weak nations surrounding Clan Skryre allow for easy expansion. Excellent ranged, monsters, and artillery are the core of their power, alongside an albeit nerfed version of the Ambush stance. The Skaven were the premier faction in TWW2, and they retain much of that strength coming into Immortal Empires. A wide selection of Wizards gives you a strong magic playstyle, and your economy, while not spectacular, is sufficiently healthy. A slight infantry weakness can lead to a few endgame issues, but with the proper army compositions, your strong cavalry such as Demigryph Knights and excellent artillery can comfortably carry the day. The Empire remains a strong well-rounded faction, able to field all kinds of units to suit the situation. Festus the Leechlord is vaguely close to your start, but he will usually become bogged down fighting Middenheim and give you time to sufficiently power up.

The departure of Mannfred von Carstein from Sylvania only serves to weaken the province, and you will only have to deal with Vlad and Isabella in order to eradicate the Undead Corruption from the Empire. Surrounded by mainly human enemies, Karl can pretty reliably build up a strong foundation, before having multiple choices of where to branch out.Īll the new factions and starting positions only provide positives for Karl. The Reikland faction keeps its starting position, a comfy home of Altdorf right in the heart of the Empire. The poster boy of Total War: Warhammer, Karl Franz retains his spot as one of the premier factions in Immortal Empires.
