Slaanesh / N'kari in immortal empires need help / guide / opinions ?

[Samurai_CX]

Ok so I like the faction a lot same as Tzeench I thought tzeench was hard but once you go south your kinda free and it turns into a normal campaing but N'kari is a diffrent story.

1# Is there any guide on what to do ?
2# N'Karis units are not that good / not a lot of them or is it just me ?
3# Why can't N'kari confedirate but only make the guys a vassel ?
4# Can you get ultimate victory with vassels so 271 provinces or how ever many there are?

Just in general I do not know but it seems something is off with the faction in battle especially for exampel vampires play similar but there units are just better you recruit 1 milion in 1 turn they do not really matter they regan with some lords like crazy they are stupid and if the lord dies they kinda get week but with N'kari what are they. I have no clue ... Any N'kari mains. So if any help with battle and how to manage tell me.

1, Spam cultist atlier buildings.
2. Get the tech that gives 25 devotees per Gift.
3. Use hero actions to give gifts to Lords.
4. Win.

Use N'Kari to bait out all the High Elf archer ammo. If you click good enough, you can do it with minimum damage. Then use skirmishing throwing axemen horsemen to kill everything. Bring a few helstriders to counter cav.

You can also seduce a High Elf phoenix or eagle and use it to bait out the archer ammo. High Elf armies are very easy to beat once they waste their ammo.

You're correct that his units are meh until tier 4 or 5. But High Elf armies are even more meh once they're out of ammo.

Late game N'Kari armies are mass cultist armies. Another good composition is Chaos Warriors with Fiends of Slaanesh and 4 Waywatchers recruited from Sister vassal.

Slaanesh does not have throwing axe marauder, but javelin marauders.

Is there a reason why he can't confedirate also can you win the game with haveing vassels ?

Stop reading guides on how you should play your game. That's one of the reasons people are so bad at it.
Slaanesh units are some of the best, so good that they dominate multiplayer and in campaign, are absolute power houses.
The only caveat is that they require A LOT of micro, something the average player can't or won't do. They just throw units at the enemy and expect to win.
Nkari can confederate, but only other Slaneeshi factions.
Vassals are counted as military alliances and they factor into those provinces.

The only similarities start and end at them having no ranged units.

Look bro, I don't have a magic formula for you. You need to learn to micro your units. But I will give you some tips on what you should aim for.
Slaaneshi units have great speed and as such, you need to pick the enemy army apart. Have them chase several if your units in several directions at once and once a few are isolated, you pounce on them and you will destroy them between charges.
When you deal with lots of ranged units, use the forest if available. If not, you basically do the same, you use Nkari and some Heroes to bait and pull some units, then you flank from two sides with cavalry and you wreak havoc in their backline.
If you're doing sieges, don't fight it out. Just bait them on one side, then on the other side have some units in hiding and you can rush the main victory point with them. I have won against 3 armies in a siege battle, simply because I would rush with Nkari and capture the objectives and they were too slow to react, and I would use summons from cultist to delay them even further.
For their armies, I tend to favor cavalry with Seekers and Heartseekers on Nkari and use chariots in secondary armies. I also pick heroes that give the +4% Speed (own army) on Heroes. It makes them even faster.
Also, make heavy use of the Seduce mechanic and the ability to spawn devotee army. An extra army popping out of thin air, next to your Lord, with full movement range is incredibly broken.

Don't worry too much about getting good troops. You can get Short Victory on VH/VH with just the basic Marauders (sword arms w/ bonus vs infantry ) and Hellstriders of Slaanesh (spear cavalry w/ bonus vs large). Hellstriders melt High Elf Cavalry and can chase down archers and routing troops when done. Marauders take care of the rest. Eventually you'll be fighting Bretonnia too which can also get wrecked by the same combinations of troops.
