I am playing mostly ranked. Deepwood and Elves are the best and most fun for me, but I like Undead with a necromancer as well - very good lasting power.

I find the spellcaster heroes to be the most the useful since they provide both buff utility as well as direct damage. Some spells like radiant Shield and Primary fury are really amazing at giving you a edge during the combat phase.

How do you play Dead Nations effectively? Pretty much all of their units seem to be worse than the equivalent of other factions and their unique mechanic is just a handicap that makes your losses worse without making your wins better.

For me, the elf wizard is definitely the most powerful leader option, at least in campaign. With the right troops you can win any battle with zero losses.,

I like the wight king just for the aesthetic though he kinda sucks. I also like running the knight commander even though he's basically a worse version of the elf noble. The goblin shaman is cheap and cheerful. The "best" are probably the elf noble (for duelling and general h2h damage) and the elf wizard (for support and ranged damage).

Human Empire and Knight Commander. The Imperial artillery is super fun, their melee game is fine, and their cavalry is amazing, if you use artillery and knights well enough you can break an enemy before they can do basically anything.

mechanicwise the elves. elven mastery is op.
from style i like dwarves, orcs or skaven (ratkin here). if devs give us a modcenter, this game will explode, cuz community can create better stuff in games as GW for example.

well the morale mechanic is just attrition no running and you can tie down the enemy nicley meanwhile the vamp knight hurts and with some upgrades is scary add ressurection and you can erase a turn or two of loses while making the odds of getting a rout off on the enemy higher plus all of there knights are good and for a reliable infantry go wight guard they can hold pretty alright

Love the undead. Not the best but i don't know, i just like playing them.

Vampire or necromancer.

For the campaign I found the Chaos knock off faction to be the most fun if
you prefer melee to ranged unit cheesy tactics

-No dedicated ranged units but the best heavy knight class in the game (3 attacks per model)
-Many of the faction units have free heavy armor which improves the damage saving throw chance
-standard infantry are pretty good and survivable
-The dragon spawn have nice utility with the flamethrower upgrade
-The random Chaos stat improve skill can occasionally get you amazing upgrades like 1 extra attack or 1 extra wound per model.

I've been having quite a bit of fun playing as the Goblin King. I have a single unit of Orc Boar riders, but other than that it's all gobbos.

Certainly not overpowered at this point, though I'm interested in seeing just how many arrows I'm eventually able to put in the sky. Two mobs of 20 archer gobbos should be able to force a lot of defence saves, especially with the skill boost they got in the latest patch.

When things go wrong though, they fall apart quickly. Always riding a knife edge. Anything to boost moral is pretty critical. Lots of desperate counter-charges, that's for sure.

Like the Abyss Faction too, lacks my favorite thing I have as my Warhammer Model, a Hellcannon ((I want my rage boom puppy)) and a Chaos Spawn. The Abyss Fiend is really strong and mobile, in combo with a Dragon Commander you have a lot of chances to qick flank especially in the campaign. The random stat mechanic is great and the heavy cav is extremely hard to kill and break. It just seems that using a different set up for the Abyss Warriors ruins their defence and they fall much much quicker. I had in the campaign a Abyss Commander with 8 attacks and reroll on failed hit... that dude mulched everything.

Been enjoying Orcs quite a bit. Chariots become really good after a few upgrades and levels.
