Heinrich Kemmler Campaign

[Rejos]

Hi, I'm playing Heinrich's campaign and something absurd is happening to me, all the factions attack me at the same time and it's impossible to win.
After conquering the lands of Bretonia the orcs took control of the south, and they declared war on me, the empire attacks me through the mountains and Norsca and warriors of chaos (skarbran) from their island declared war on me and went directly for my city , any advice for this campaign , ( all this in turn 15 of the campaign ) I still could not ruin the best possible army

I have an unrelated question, but do you have the summon krell ability playing as heinrich?
And if so do you have TWWH2?

Heinrich Kemmler is actually reasonably easy to play. Looking for allies is always a good helper. Whoever is allied does not attack immediately. Generous gifts, such as a freshly conquered settlement, which you could not hold without problems in the next 30 minutes, can help.

The orc, for example, the old fat-bellied one, likes to receive settlements as gifts. And he likes it when a neighbor also attacks his enemies. Best friends then until the time when Kemmler decides to take back his given away stuff and dispose of the orc's.

The empire should not be a problem. The Norsca, on the other hand, like Marienburg so much that they go there on pilgrimage with one or the other army... If the empire with Karl-Franz would own Marienburg, as a gift for example, the Norsca would be his problem. A problem, by the way, that is very solvable by the Empire. And armies that attack the norsca do not attack Kemmler.

Heinrich Kemmler just needs some open eyes and a bit of strategy and tactics due to his somewhat exposed starting point. But it is not very difficult...

Yeah... I haven't had much luck with that campaign either. You're surrounded by hostile factions and a ways away from any plausible ally, which makes Heinrich's diplomatic bonuses and anti-attrition bonuses kind of useless.

His abilities and his faction's abilities make it look like they planned to place him further up north, but I guess ran out of a space or something.

[Verchial]

Good.

He has a stupid hat. And name.

Kemmler is one of my favorite campaigns. Focus income and get a second army up asap. The more forces you have the less likely AI is to declare war. You will probably have to play city defense hopscotch for a little while against some of them until you get the area secure enough.

Bel'lakor is the Daemon who attacks from the island. He is the only one who is a real pain because taking his capital requires you to leave your area defenseless to get to him. If you can get a 2nd army up fast enough he should leave you alone until you are more established.

All this is playing on VH. If you are playing Legendary I none of this may work.

i'm playing in hard, the thing is that Grom always declares war on me on turn 10 and on turn 11 he attacks my city coming with a wagg, that is, 3000 orcs, something my skeletons can't win against even having 2 armies becoming 4000 vs 3000 losing

Use Raise Dead in a province with a battle marker to mix in some higher tier units with your skellies. If you get some good battle markers from killing brets you can have some fairly high tier stuff early on.

The real fix for kemmler is to give some territory you don't want to Durthu and Orion so the wood elves leave you alone. If you can get a defensive alliance with them the orcs will never reach you to bother you.

Oh this is you? Guess things didn't go to well yesterday. Anyway best of luck with your Krell problems, maybe trying to contact official sources like CA's support team would help.

thanks man I finally got past turn 15, I had a battle against the empire and after it I managed to resurrect a scream of terror and some wight warriors, and with them defeat the orcs
