"Best" Co op factions (2 players)

[Stefan]

Me and a bud have always been struggling to find some proper co op factions that kidn of start close together as well, we dont fancy dwarfs/humans/tomb kings as we've already doen playtroughs with them.

The main issues are what we think, fi we pick elves, such as woodelves. Orion will just cuddle his oak tree nonstop, while any ofthe others are "riding along" murdering stuff but no real engagement on that front.

Dark elves and such all want the sword of kain, so 2 type of elves both wanting the sword wouldnt work out well either i recon..

Suggestions? Feel free to list all of them ^^

Issue with chaos might be that the different chaos types will kill eachother off, on that note we're not huge fans of Horde factions

Arkhan and Manfred. You start close together with common enemies (lots of enemies). You both benefit from vampiric corruption. You're both undead.

Other option is the two Cathay lords.

Woodelves are good at co-op when other player is different race, a fun choice would be one player as sisters and other as nagarynthe or nagarond.

Nkari and Morathi would be thematic co-op, but Nkari starts in difficult position.

Maybe Throt the unclean and Festus where Festus gets to vassalize Throt.

[BanryuTV]

-Karl Franz and Tzarina Katarin
-Repanse de Lyonesse and Volkmar the Grim
-Marcus Wulfhart and Alberic de Bordeleaux

[Trym]

Kroq-gar and Teclis

[EthanT]

Kroq-Gar and Tiq-Tac

Tehenhuain and Gor-Rok

Wulfric and Throgg

Mannfred + Arkhan

Cathay and Cathay

[Painsen]

Kholek and that tzeentch twin

[Cruddy]

I did Throt with a friend as Katarin, the only obstacle to bordering each other is a few minor Kislev Lords that can be easily defeated by only one of you, but it may be difficult after since Azazel, Throgg and other miscellaneous Marauder tribes are at the border and Festus to the south although he tends to stay in his area. Belakor even showed up quite frequently.

Obviously not lore friendly but I'm not sure you care about that.

[KellyR]

Count Noctillus and almost anyone else.

Particularly if you start in free-for-all mode so that Noctillus can cove the other player's cities.

[Formous]

Ogres should pair well with anyone, since they can live about anywhere and their valuable camps dont suffer from rebellions.

[SalzStange]

Karl + Leon

[Xhal]

Archaon and Kholek or Vilitch.

Morathi can land in n'karis capital around turn 5, nkari then helps her take the shrine if Kaine province, after which you're gtg

You can also snag the change start location mod and play as any faction you like in any location you choose from turn 1.

Busy doing a Settra Karios co-op. Pretty fun.

Then again Tzeentch can lore his way to fighting for anyone really.

basically any armies that can complement each other well would also be nice for coop, things such as vampire - dwarfs for example.

the high king can suppress corruption better with his edicts/commandments.
the vampires can provide monsters for the dawi while the dawi can provide some much needed ranged units for the vampires.
