N'kari is too hard

[barbapapa]

Not that type of hard lmao. But this guy is really hard to play as. I know he's a glass canon and your supposed rely on speed and flanking, but im literally doing that and cannot get past turn 10 after without losing to the elves with the light blue banner or tyrion. Would appreciate some help with army comps and overall tactics!

You have to be extremely aggressive. Like V E R Y aggro. If you waste time you will get curb stomped by the elves in a few turns. Here's a video that sort of explains what you probably ought to do. I did mine a bit different but this looks way more efficient than I did it. Your army comp I don't think really matters. Just design it for what you're gonna be fighting for a while. If you are against elves just make a bunch of your frontline soldiers so they eat arrows and get stuff that can catch their archers. N'Kari himself can do most of that work because he's so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ fast.

Attack with everything you got at the same time, and flank every opportunity you got. Don't run ahead with your fastest units, unless necessary. You want to hit hard and disable the AI before it can do anything. Against elves, force their ranged units into melee ASAP. There are a lot of maps that allow you to spawn units with vanguard deployment behind the enemy lines, which is great for seekers, mostly if you can hide them.

Chariots can do a lot of damage if used correctly, so make good use of them. Don't leave it engaged in melee, just charge a unit and then move to the next one or get out of combat.

As for N'Kari, he's a murder machine, but you need to be careful not to get overwhelmed.

Crash your marauders into their front, then have your daemonettes and fiends circle around and go for the archers. make sure not to send your fast guys in too early or they get killed before the rest of the army gets there.

Field battles are easy, your insane ability to flank fast and generally murder enemy ranged/siege units will carry hard.

For siege battles abuse the AI, have any units that can't hide over on one side to draw the enemy's defences there, then hide everything else on the far opposite side and crash a gate there as fast as you can. Your cav are fast enough to rush and capture some points to prevent towers and barricades going up, then try to force the fight to happen in a position where you can take proper advantage of flanking, if that's not possible at least use your sheer speed to achieve local superiority and defeat the enemy in detail.

In either case, the most important thing is you must shut down enemy ranged units, or your entire army is going to melt in about 1.6 seconds.

as it should be mmmmmmmmmmm

A more boring prospect is simply using a bunch of tanky maruaders (later upgraded to chaos warriors) at the front and hammer and anviling the opposing army. Do not forget to tempt a few units from the enemy so you have a numbers advantage.

The most interesting aspect is when the enemy has lots of sea guard. as they can effectively block your flank and then shoot the flank down.

If you really can't beat the elve you can alway flee to bretonia where you will fight bretonians and vampire, And its a lot easier than those elve bastion
