Which Provinces to occupy as Khorne?

[JLHartsock]

I am hearing people say that I should only occupy the capital of each province as Khorne? Is this true as I have not yet touched the faction.

No. Do it when it is POSSIBLE. dont just take capitals, unless you are ready to baby it until it has at least tier 3 walls. Im on turn 50 currently as I said before and all i have is DeffGorge captured. I destroy everything. Or when you accumulate enough funds and skulls leave a Lord at your capital and capture destroyed settlements later.

You can occupy any settlement really, but I recommend occupying only capitals and razing the rest. You don't have to baby sit them at all either just occupy and forget about them. If you lose them it doesn't matter. If you manage to recruit heroes before you lose it, take that as extra victory. Your faction will expand on its own. Don't ever occupy with Skarbrand. Use armies you gain from razing settlements to destroy/occupy AFTER you've sacked it with Skarbrand. Settlement being sacked has no effect on the army and skulls you get from razing. Always sack first and use the clean up crew to occupy/raze.

Ruins on a province where you own at least one settlement have a chance every turn to become yours, so if you just take the main settlement and raze the rest, eventually the whole province will be yours without colonizing it. You want to raze settlements as Khorne, since it gives you skulls and it's how you spawn Blood hosts.

Nah, bad advise. You're being too precious about losing settlements and hurting yourself in the process. Just go out sacking every settlement, then raze if minor or occupy if major. Don't worry about babysitting anything. It isn't the end of the world if you lose settlements, since you can easily spawn a blood host to go get it back without losing momentum. As long as you don't lose your capital or a settlement that you already invested a lot on it, it's no big deal. Also, it's just a matter of being smart about it. Don't invest on settlements that are too exposed to enemy attacks, this way if you lose it, you won't be losing a meaningful amount of gold. It's good practice to invest first on the core of your Empire, and treat fringe settlements as acceptable liabilities.
