Who is your favourite LL to play in Immortal Empires?

[Jago]

Whilst waiting for news of ToD, thought it would be interesting to see what LLs people are currently having the most fun with in IE. Might help in deciding the next campaign to play.

For me, have to say Vilitch has been certainly one of my favourite. Good set of enemies and challenge with cathay, skaven assassins, Lokhir and grimgor. Then add in his 4th wall breaking quips and the chaotic blue scribes, lends itself to such a great campaign imo.

[Mollerz]

Snickety snikch

[Son of Rawl]

Going with Grimgor, usually always come back to a campaign of headbutting every Legendary Lord on the map.

[dulany67]

Mannfred with a satisfying mix of magic and melee.

Karl Franz is the pinnacle of classic fantasy experience as the good guys:

You fight undeads, demons, beasts and evil humans, you are surrounded and need to hold with the help of other cool humans and dwarfs.

Plus dealing with electors is like herding wet cats.

[Songbird]

The prince and emperor

[Lampros]

Karl Franz - as weak as he is, I like the vanilla good guy.

Skarbrand when in the mood for a simple, raise a strong army and raze the world kind of mood, Drazhoath for being the best Chaos dwarf faction when in the mood for the most complex campaign in Total War.

[Mou bu]

currently, Markus/Malekith to conquer, Archaeon/Grimgor/Skarbrand to destroy, Skarsnik/Snikch/Victor/Tiktaq'to to troll around

I see a lot of people praising drazhoath, I was wondering if you can go into more detail as to why?
I've only played chorfs once (astragoth) and it seemed ,to my limited experience, they'd all play fairly similarly. I'm pondering chorfs for my next playthrough so would be most appreciative of discourse.

Chaos Dwarf difficulty is based on how soon you can kill Grimgor, since he will kill all the other Chaos Dwarfs if you don't deal with him and make the best part about the Tower of Zharr useless.

Astrogoth is right next to Grimgor, and his neighbors are minor factions, so he is easiest. Zhatan is further away, bit if you pay him enough Kholek will help you kill him. Villitch will probably also require being paid off not to sucker punch you.

Drazhoath can not deal with Grimgor in a timely manner, as he is surrounded by Imrik, Tretch, Greasus, and potentially Kugath or Ghorst if their war ends quickly. Drazhoath is guaranteed to have to fight Grimgor during a Waagh and is already out of control.

Faction mechanics, he gets more value from armaments which gives you a greater capability to field more elite units. The other two aren't as good as you can manage your public order and the extra convoy isn't necessary. Also he's a better starting LL since he can make use of the lore of hashut without the need for a wizard.

Grimgor is almost never a problem, I think I've only seen him destroy Astragoth once in all my Chaos dwarf campaigns.

Be'lakor of course: teleport everywhere, raze everything, collect pokemons, stack mortis engine effects by force vassalization, some men just want to watch the world melt.

Be'lakor gets a bad reputation on the tactical side (not as great in battle as some LL's), but it's actually a great campaign and I agree with the quote. The teleporting alone is a hugely convenient ability, let alone the other parts. And you start in place that isn't a complete mess to operate from... it's a good starting spot, too.

Be'lakor is pretty solid, too, with having all four rosters available of the mono-gods.

It's a great campaign to play Be'lakor in IE. Wasn't thrilled with him in Realms of Chaos, but IE is pretty sweet for him.
