The dwarf campaign is completely ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ stupid.

[Innocent]

Seriously, 4 times I've tried reloading this to try and make sense it, it's completely retarded!

You start surounded by aggressive factions and don't have the resources to deal with them all. Go North? Attacked in the south and west. Go South? Skarsnik goes nuts in the North and steamrolls you at the worse possible moment. The AI just gangbangs you. Rank 11 faction (I'm rank 70) declaring war on me when I'm already fighting on two fronts with pitiful armies. Friendly dwarves factions are useless, refuse to confederate despite being like rank 300, and just feed.

And that's on Normal!

wtf is this ♥♥♥♥?

Its best to focus on eliminating enemies one at a time. Dwarves are always slow at the start but they win out on quality early enough with dwarf warriors and then later get all sorts of 1 army death ball options.

Seems like a skill issue

If you want to confederate someone you need at least 150+ diplomacy points with them. Trade them settlements to get there fast. If they don't have the money, give them money first, then the settlement to get money back. Repeat as necessary.

I really think it's a problem of your skill, really the dwarven factions are very easy, only for me the one with the dwarf with the zeppelin is difficult, I don't remember the name, the dwarven armies are very good and versatile, you have the miners that throw bombs and have armor piercing, you quickly have the catapults, the musketeers, the flamethrowers, skarnich? that's one battle one victory, with the dwarf king you make one turn one conquest, without delay until the region is unified, you rest 1-2 turns to replenish troops and buy new ones and you go for skarnich, ready you won, you already have an economy that will support another army of dwarven warriors to defend that area in case the chaos dwarves attack you, and with the king you go south, EAAAAAASYYYYY BOY

Of course it's a skill issue, this is my first ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game. Who designs a campaign on normal with that kind of difficulty? If I wanted a challenge I'd up the difficulty, I wanna learn the game, try things, be able to do mistakes, not get ♥♥♥♥♥♥ after turn 10. Uninstalled this trash.

An Innocent soul dropped in a world of constant total war and savagery… what could go wrong ? Lol (and that’s only in normal difficulty !)

Surely a skill issue, but well everyone need to start somewhere, it’s gonna improve with experience eventually.
Specially like Dwarfs are very strong and simple to use if you know what you doing usually.
My guess is you are not agressive enough, being too passive lead to being overwhelmed in WH3… it’s total war 101 rule right there for you !

Watch content creators on YT, you need to learn how to act.
Start here, it’s an old video, but tips are still useful:

The game is not garbage, nor is it difficult, in fact, it is one of the easiest Total War games, that you do not have the patience to learn is your fault, there I have left you perfectly described how to win your first two enemies and continue your campaign, but your response is only to cry and say that you have uninstalled it, then go away and do not put nonsense like this that has no place in discussion, go play Minecraft

Uninstalled already ?!
Dude, you are still considered a newbie after 500h of playtime in WH3, and still learn many things you didn’t know after a 1000h playing it !
Cmon, a bit more of a “determined & resolute” behaviour maybe ?!
If not, well… there is hello kitty there too (heard it’s a good game for the innocent souls),
but you gotta try a bit more than that man, or surely it won’t work at all… 🙄

Dwarfs, especially Thorgrim (the lord you chose) are meant to be played defensively and expand slowly. you're getting overwhelmed because you refuse to just sit still for a few turns. you have a far better economy than the orcs and goblins and your troops are designed to win defence battles, even with just your capital you can endure until you get enough armies to take and hold more ground.

You chose a faction that is largely cut off from the other "good guys" and is SURROUNDED by factions that hate you. dunno why you expect an easy time. choose one of the other dwarfs that can actually expand somewhat if you don't like playing on the defence for the first 25 turns.

It is true that each one plays in their own way, but I think you are wrong, Thorgrim's campaign is much easier if you are on the offensive in the first turns, the idea is to defeat the first faction you start the war with and Skarnik in a period of 10 turns maximum, then you can go on the defensive if you want until you have the troops you like, but if you give the enemy time they will overwhelm you, because yes, you can easily win the defensive battles in the capital, but as soon as you leave there you will be overwhelmed by other armies of other factions

I don't know what to say. My first campaign was the dwarf faction Thorgrim Grudgebearer in Immortal Empire, which I played after the prologue in Normal/Normal difficulty. I always play Ironman mode. I won almost the whole map. I left after maybe 280 turns because I wanted to play a new faction. i really don't know what happened to you. i don't think it skill issue for you since, of course, new players will not know things it's common

Totally agree good advice
